BTW, as a workaround I use when all I need to restart is X, I switch to a virtual terminal (ctl+alt+f2) and type "killall X". That will avoid the full reboot cycle and restart Sugar.<div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Sebastian<br><br>El mar, 13 de may 2014 a las 7:23 AM, Jon Nettleton <jon.nettleton@gmail.com> escribió:<br>

At some point, the ctl+alt+backspace signal to restart was dropped. This

a very handy way
to get out of dead-ends caused by starting too many activities.
What I would like to do is have this signal show a screen similar to the
switch desktop screen but with
a set of options:
Start Sugar
Start Gnome
Login
where the login option allows the user to set the nick to his/her
username.
The advantage of this is that
the nick is reset at Sugar start. This option is needed at sites where
more
than one person uses the laptop (even in OLPC sites, it can be expected
that
more than one person will use the laptop when it is at home).
Does anyone know why this capability was dropped? Is there any technical
reason it can not be restored? How does one set the ctl+alt+bs to call a
procedure in globalkeys (similar to viewsource and screenshot)? Is that
the
way this should be done?
Thanks,
Tony

The newest versions of Sugar let you limit the number of open activities,
hopefully obviating the root cause of the dead-end you described. Regarding
support for multiple users, that is another topic altogether.

You should look into implementing KSM and zSwap in the XO kernels.
They are a couple of ways that Android KitKat is supporting hardware
with 512MB's of RAM.
