From: "David Z. Maze" <dmaze@MIT.EDU>

System name:		bart-savagewood.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.4.20 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgthree

Shell:			/bin/sh (/afs/sipb/project/sipb/bin/zsh?)
Window manager:		ssh-agent fvwm2

What were you trying to do?
	Use xss-button to lock my screen.

What's wrong:
	bart-savagewood has two screens.  Both nicely faded to black,
	and then displayed white, followed by normal X gray and an
	Athena login screen.  Looks like it crashed the X server.  :-/
	On the second run, the screensaver hack appeared briefly on
	the first screen.

	If memory serves, the first time, I hit the screensaver button
	and then bumped the mouse, so I got the normal xscreensaver
	password box.  I pressed RET, and then the X server died.

What should have happened:
	I should have gotten a pretty maze-solving problem on both
	screens.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	xss(1)
