All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

class DeathWatcherThread

extends java.lang.Thread

Client-side background thread to handle force disconnect commands from the server. We need this thread because jdk 1.2 has a bug where RMI callbacks are not privileged to interact with the Swing thread. By creating a thread to handle forced logouts ourselves, we can have an RMI callback pass a message to this thread (which has local privileges), which can then throw up a dialog explaining about being disconnected, etc.

When run, this thread waits for die() to be called, whereupon it creates an ExitThread to actually shut down the client.
