It is the Xfce shutdown button I am having problems with.  So, it
is entirely appropriate to pot here.  Sorry, do not see your point.

Where did you get that idea?

Too many other things going on to drop to init 3.  Besides, with Xfce
I can open up multiple on multiples of xterms.  So I can
have tons more command lines.  And the #&%@ing console messages
don't mess across my vi sessions.  I must know what my firewall is
up to.

Maybe I will just write my own script for shutting down
