What happens if you kill all xterms and then say 'restore session'? This doesn't explain the incrementing numbers though. Maybe that's got something to do with a .xsession file containing a line that fires up a xterm (but then, that should be the same for every time you restart a X-session).

spurious xterm windows on boot
hello all, I have a million questions, but am finding the debian documentation to be amazingly helpful for all but the simplest one. Every time I boot into my personal login, incrementally more xterm windows start up on my desktop. It doesn't happen when I just log in, only when I boot. The same thing happens with the root account, except they're Nautilus windows instead of xterm. I'm up to about a dozen Nautilus windows and 16 +/- xterm windows. I'm sure I'll come across what's doing this eventually, but by then there could be hundreds.. It's debian unstable, custom 2.4.18 kernel, Gnome 1.4. It was a very minimal http install last weekend, it's been happening ever since. Any advice on where to look for the culprit appreciated.
