I used screen to catch the message... who thought of running X in
a screen session? ;-)

BTW, dt doesn't completely hang the machine.  You can type a couple of
returns (because you can't see what's on the screen), type ^d, and
you're out of it. (oh, don't forget running dt with "-n 1" option...
without it, you would have to switch virtual terminal with
command-{1,2}...)

X is running happily again with Allen's patch.  Cool :-)
Thanks Allen!
