Even after re-naming .Xdefaults file and zlogout, xswitch would hang the workstation on me. This happened on vsII's and vs2000's. Eventually I figured it out, though. I had an executable in my directory named 'echo' which would not run under tcsh unless I typed ./echo. However, I think xswitch must try to use it and it got my 'echo' instead of the real system 'echo'. After deleting my binary, everything was fine. This is something worth checking since the use of 'Essential C' could result in the creation of an executable named 'echo', as it did with me.
