Re: Applications routinely crash X... how is this possible?

[Tim Lloyd <lloydt Colorado EDU>]

So, er, what would be a suggestion to have in .xinitrc, so X doesn't go
down whenever gnome crashes?  Right now I'm getting a bit miffed at gmp3,
as it keeps bringing down gnome-session, which pulls X down with it...
