Hi Moses,

I don't know if it is coincidental or not but I notice that my machine
crashed
when I am running xlock. To ascertain whether or not it is xlock that is
crashing
my labtop, I am going to leave it overnight without xlock running.

No, I don't have dos16 partition: I only have ext2, swap, a GNU HURD
partion and a
NTFS partion.

Thanks for responding.
