[RP] neat trick

[twb]

I worked out a neat trick.  Y'all probably know it, it's so simple.

Problem: Occasionally RP dies or  goes funny, right.  Your only option
is to kill X and xinit again.

Trick:

Make a bash script:

        #!/bin/bash
        $@; exec $0 $@

Then edit ~/.xinitrc :

  change
        exec ratpoison
  to
        exec keepalive ratpoison

Now,  if RP  dies keepalive  will restart  it; if  RP  stops receiving
input, you can switch to a vt and `killall ratpoison`.

The end result is that X won't die when RP does.

gnome-sessiond must have a lot of bloat if a newbie can do a one-liner, eh ;)
