It is and that's why killing the second instance restarts the WPS. The
first instance of PMSHELL detects that the second instance has died and
restarts the second instance. This works also long as the cause of the
Desktop hang is within the second instance. If the failure is elsewhere,
say in the PM subsystem, this method will not work.

To see how it works, use Watchcat to kill the second instance when the
Desktop is running normally and it should restart.

Big is relative. To me that's small. :-)
