I'm remotely logging into the server with the X clients using
"X -query $server". When I do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, I the whole
X server goes down. Yes, I could write a loop about the X server
on that machine as well, but I don't want that.

I like the SIGUSR1 approach (which, btw, currently does not work for
me at all, but I'll have to find some time and look why it does not
work, perhaps my way of feeding STDIN to dwm is the problem).

Christian
