Ask small questions that don't deserve their own thread. [HUH?]
I'm sure there are a lot of tiny questions that don't deserve their very own thread. Ask these here and somebody that hopefully knows what they're talking about will answer them!
Here are mine:
Restarting X (ctrl+alt+backspace) doesn't work with openbox. When I try to, on the vc I see the xorg log reporting an error about openbox already running. When I go to vc7 there's nothing there, so openbox did exit. How do I fix this?
pm-util's resume from suspend doesn't work. It goes into suspend mode correctly, but when I resume the motherboard beeps 4 times and crashes. Diagnosing this is very difficult, given that I see no resume entries on the pm-util log, just the suspend entires. Where should I start?

Restarting x is handled by the session manager (KDM , GDM etc.) without one, ctl-alt-backspace just stops X 
by the way.. isn't this what IRC is for?

Second that ^^. Or searching the forums (gotta be careful not to step on anybody's toes here), or checking the wiki if that kind of stuff is already documented.

This stops X. The reason you associate it with restarting, is because your display manager is/was set to respawn.
See /etc/inittab, near the bottom.
