Hi,
I'm a new, naive Athena user. I used Control-Mouse-Left to get a pop
up of things to do to my xterm. When I moved the mouse off the menu,
it stayed around (I invoked it with a Control-Mouse-L click, rather
than holding the button down).
There I was. A menu stuck on my display. Forsooth! But at the bottom
of the menu was the item [Quit]. Of course, this must mean quit from
the menu.
I clicked it.
< Munch! > My login window and everything I was doing went away.
Feature request: When you're about to clobber your login window, ask
for confirmation of some sort. At LEAST warn the user that's what they're
doing.
Thanks,
-- Stephen
