Display type: XFree86 3.3.1 S3
What were you trying to do?
make my console go away using nawm
What's wrong:
console has a spooky shadow self:
danw@zork:~> xlsclients -l
...
Window 0x2c00004:
Machine: zork.mit.edu
Name: No name
Icon Name: No name
Command: /etc/athena/console -display :0.0
Instance/Class: console/Console
Window 0x2c0000c:
Machine: zork.mit.edu
Name: Console
Icon Name: Console
Command: /etc/athena/console -display :0.0
Instance/Class: console/Console
and depending on the window stacking order, nawm might pick
the wrong one to try to hide
What should have happened:
There should only be one console. What does the other one
correspond to anyway? None of my other windows have
dopplegangers.
This happens under Irix too. I can't say for sure that it
happens under Solaris, but I'm not logged in to Solaris
boxes as often as Irix and NetBSD.
