I start xwrits out of my .xsession script like this: xwrits okp=/home/itz/xwrits/blank.gif +lock +cheat +iconified When it fires up, the screen is locked and filled with the bars pattern as expected. I then type the so called password "quit" which unlocks the screen and removes the bars pattern, also as expected. However, the warning window is now on and stays on, no matter how much I type, which contradicts what the manpage says about `+cheat'. And, the window should have not been visible in the first place due to `+iconified'.
