From: Martyn William Peck <mwp@MIT.EDU>

System name:		x15-cruise-basselope.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-5_10 8.4.6 (with mkserv)
Display type:		afb

Shell:			/bin/athena/bash
Window manager:		fvwm2

What were you trying to do?
Simply activate xss using the xss-button 

What's wrong:
apparently a second xss got activated by xss-button while an xss was already running and locking the screen, preventing one of the xss's from getting keyboard input and allowing me to unlock the screen.

What should have happened:
basically a second xss program should never have been activated when one was already running. 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
