I do use neither kde nor gnome (I use blackbox as window manager). A good night's sleep helped finding a simple practical solution: Transfer the line: "[ $TERM = xterm ] && test `who | grep -v tty | grep avraham | wc -l` = 1 && /home/avraham/scripts/remind 14 | bidiv | view -" (it's slightly modified to avoid redisplaying the same stuff every time I open a new xterm) from .bash_profile to .bashrc.
I am still in the dark about the proper way to use the -e option of xterm. Any pointer beyond the man page is welcome.
