# by default)

# why this loop?
# wmii crashes once a month here. That doesn't matter that much
# wmii can recover very well. However without loop the X session
# terminates and then your workspace setup is lost and all
# applications running on X will terminate.
# Another use case is kill -9 wmii; after rotating screen.
# Note: we don't like kill for that purpose. But it works (->
# subject "wmii and xrandr" on mailinglist)
