Nothing there... nothing at all. Nor with Ctrl-Alt-F8. But, see below
and you'll realise that I looked at Alt-F7 (whilst X was closed).
Afterstep errors are logged to a file. X errors are logged to a file.
I only went to Alt-F7 to see if it was something other than those two
... which it was ... "message there was that a SIGPIPE had occurred".
Sorry, but Alt-F8 & Ctrl-Alt-F8 do nothing for me except show a blank
screen. However, all the methods I used were useful and I think when
you suggest "Alt-F8" you actually mean the same thing as what Alt-F7 did
for me... which my e-mail mentions just a little bit below where you
inserted your comment.
