What were you trying to do?
	Kill xload using xkill

What's wrong:
	xkill kills xload but then the machine stops aceapting key board input, to any aplcation, the mouse still works.  mwm also dies

What should have happened:
	It should not freze the key baord out

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I have done this twice now, I think it was with xload each time.
	the xload is from my .startup.X file.  It has only happed with athena 6.4R.  Logout button still works.
