What were you trying to do?
	Kill my X server.

What's wrong:
	I sent it a HUP signal, and all of my windows went away, but
	the X server hung (the cursor wouldn't move, but the
	backgrounds were still on the screens).  I logged in remotely
	and sent it another HUP signal, with no effect.  I then sent
	it a TERM signal, again with no effect.  I then sent it a KILL
	signal and it finally went away.

What should have happened:
	The server should have exited successfully when it received
	the first HUP.
