Hi Bill,


I was using the collaboration facility with the server running in my
office, and a client in=20
another office. On the client's menu, we did View --> Full Screen and
crashed both our
pc's. The client pc had the video displayed on two monitors, which
probably contributed to
what happened. The client session died and reverted to the linux login
screen. The windows
server did a few strange things in the IDV and Outlook applications. I
had to end these 2
applications and restart them. Otherwise, some tasks continued to run
and appear to be okay.
To be honest I have no idea what is going on. Are you able to repeat this? Going to full screen mode shouldn't affect the other machine. Also, its odd that the whole x server died. If you can repeat this maybe 
we can try to get a handle on what is going on.
