I use XFCE, and whenever I log out of my session, X restarts. At first I thought this was SLIM's default behavior, so I switched to GDM. It did the same thing. After unchecking the box in gdm setup to "Restart the Xserver after every login", it still restarts X. Is this a simple problem I'm not understanding? I quite perfer SLIM, so is there an edits to daemonize it? Or is this how XFCE handles logouts?

slim always restarts X on logout. no option.
gdm restarts by default, and has an option not to.
kdm does not by default, and has an option to.

thats just it. GDM's option doesnt work.

From my experience this problem is probably unsolvable. So in order to help you I`d like to know why the X restarting bother you so much?
Knowing more an alternate solution may be found...

because other systems I've used don't do that, and I like it like that. So knowing its possible, and knowing it isnt working the way i want it to, bothers me.

good luck then...

If you have an ATI graphics card, disabling the X restart can be particularly bad, because it will hang your X terminal (vc/7). There are a lot of *good* reasons for X to restart after logout, and the only side effect is a 1 or 2 second delay.

If you don't want x to restart use GDM as it as an option or else your sol

two reasons:
- x restarting will force break X connection with stale x apps, thus kill them.
- if x/drivers have a mem leak, it'll wipe it out

If you need programs that continue working even if you log off or restart X you may find interesting this wiki article.
