I don't think neither the old Xmacbsd servers compiled by Brad, Allen,
then me nor the new X server (don't know the file name) compiled by
Scott does have that capability.  It might be a good thing to have a
way to safely kill the server without having to have at least one
xterm window open, though.

If you aren't runnign xdm, I think it's pretty safe to kill the server
by its pid (i.e. ps then kill).
