It is "off" (precisely, it was never present, but the infloop bug prevented normal exit), in 21.4.10, according to reports. Current behavior seems to be "die when the last console connection goes away". I don't intend to change that. Speaking of the event loop ... was your comment about "bad logic repainting on every Expose _and probably doing XSync too_" mere sarcasm, or do you have reason to believe the part about XSync? A quick grep of the code suggests XSync is only used in response to a user request (this includes scrollbars, though), where checking for X protocol errors (presumably operations like opening the display), and in server grabs. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
