No they don't (or if xterm does, you'll have found a another *GOOD* reason to delay the release of bo another few weeks/months). xterm is setuid root, so if you were able to specify what libraries xterm uses by simply setting LD_PRELOAD, you'd be able to write your own Xaw (or libc or whatever) wich will then run as root. Not a very good idea. I don' t know about xbmbrowser (don't seem to have it on my system), but maybe something similar. > Also a lot of programs crash with neXtaw but not Xaw3d and Xaw.
