I just witnessed an interesting email exchange on the Enlightenment
mailing list : one of the users at a site managed to xkill Enlightenment,
dropping the whole machine back to raw X server and losing literally
about 50 xterms used to manage all of the machines on site.
The admin mailed the enlightenment list going 'heeeeeeeelp' and
Raster (main author of Enlightenment) mailed him back a raw X program
in C to search through the raw windows list, find the relevant processes,
and sneakily reattach them to the newly running version of Enlightenment
without losing any of the data at all :-)
This was in front of a snide manager who was making comments about
how unsupported Linux was :-)
