There is also the situation where Xastir runs on an X display, and if
there are any O/S or Desktop "issues" then Xastir will fall over when
the user logs out.

Better to run "server" stuff in the background where it belongs, and run
"Desktop" user apps over top where they can be unplugged without scaring
the rest of the farmyard.
