I am experiencing this problem: I can't leave a terminal open when quitting WindowMaker and then find it again open at the next login. Probably this is due to the fact that terminal emulator launcher (at least as far as xterm and rxvt are concerned) are wrappers. Essentially, if I start X manually, ctr-alt-x1 shows me a message like
rxvt: bad option -font- (etc.) In my view, this depends on how commands are executed from the Window Manager at startup: it can't recognize options. So if I execute 'rxvt -fn 9x15' is ok, but if I leave the terminal open and quit WindowMaker, at my new login I find the error message in the console rxvt: bad option "9x15". I have no clue on what causes this. I hope that this message is clear enough to allow somebody to understand the origin of the problem. Thanks Biagio
