this is not a problem with e or e17 - every wm and desktop environment will
have this problem. just don't use startx! use a login manager (gdm, kdm, xdm,
entrance etc.) stop using startx! just stop! anyone silly enough to use startx
deserves the pain they get. u logged into a text console - silly person that
did that.
