Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 92

Joe,

Don't know for sure what happened in your case.  It appears that all X 
Clients (including the inernal window manager) lost communication with 
the X Server at about the same time.  The *IOErrorHandler's are called 
when communication with the X Server is lost.  Sounds like you had a 
hiccup in your TCP/IP network stack on your Windows machine.

Lets just forget this unless it happens to you on a regular basis.
