Description Harald Koenig 2005-08-29 11:54:23 UTC

using xfce4, xterms don't start as login shell, so /etc/profile doesn't get
read. i'm using the following patch for now:

 if [ "x$TERMCMD" = "x" ]; then
-     TERMCMD=xterm
+     TERMCMD="xterm -ls"
 fi

 if [ "$1" = "-e" ]; then

Most people would consider that change to be a bug.

Comment 2 Lukas Tinkl 2005-08-30 12:20:25 UTC

I think it shouldn't start a login shell
