Pablo: You can tell it not to on install or afterwards in preferences. Spit: yup, I can make X-windows do that too, but I can't see what's going on on the console of my Linux PC. It's in a co-location facility in Portland and hasn't got a monitor -- it's a server B^) -- the only way I can run X on it is remotely from here using WinaXe and, well, that means that I daren't have it up all the time. No reboot since unknown? Well, that is impressive...
