I found a quickstation in a funny state; it had no windowmanager (though
this could have been a user customization failing), but the strangest
thing was the state of bugme: There was a small white window in the lower
left-hand corner of the screen, but no time display. There was an xterm,
so I poked around a bit; I found that the console did exist, and had
messages from the user's login. The most interesting thing I noticed
was that the process pointed to by $XSESSION was defunct. I killed
Xsession itself with no effect. At this point I killed the xterm, and so
gave up and rebooted the station. Unfortunately, I didn't think to catch
the workstation's version before doing so...it's the left one on the 3rd
floor of W20, though, if that's any help.
