Dont know if the discussion was originally meant so, but this sure is a 
nice troll in the best traditions of the art.

Reaching careless driving from pulesaudio restart with the usual bash at 
the html emails.

Anyway : there is a discussion on kubuntu forums about this, telling how 
to reenable this combo.

http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3100383.0

basically just add something to xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option		"DontZap"	"off"
EndSection



personally i will do it because i find this useful when wine crashes 
xorg. usually it crashes it just enough for CAB to still work.

If someone already posted the link - well i guess twice is not too much 
if someone ever does not want to read through the full flame war.

Peace
