System name:		Vice-Grips
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.1.4 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
Idling... (I wasn't logged in)

What's wrong:
This is a dual display sun.
The problem is that the reactivate/dm restart (and the screensaver for xlogin)
burped in some strange manner and spawned X 's all over the place.  No xlogin
was shown on the display.  Typing ctl-p did not give me a console login.

After loggin in to another machine, 
Manually killing off the X's, I tried HUPing the dm, then killing it.
Nothing seemed to change on the display.  At that point, I just rebooted it.

What should have happened:
It should have had a happy little Xlogin showing on one of the displays
and there shouldn't have been all those X's all over the place.
