Ahh, so this is about job continuity[1]? :)
Paul [1] It's a joke. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Haha :) No, it's just that, as far as I can see, the impact on newbies is that we tell them to reboot instead of doing ctrl-alt-backspace. Total cost: about twenty seconds (time to reboot vs. time to restart X). Killing X kills all X apps in any case, so they're not going to lose any data rebooting that they wouldn't have lost anyway by doing ctrl-alt-backspace. Or are our newbies running emacs in virtual consoles now?
