It's more complicated than that. xterm stores tabs expanded, and uses that in repainting (iirc, essentially the proposed patch set a bit at the beginning of the tab, so all that was left was to make the selection mechanism work). Ah, ok. Well, someone will fix this eventually. Maybe I will make a feature request for gnome terminal.

The initial problem wasn't this but that your session exits immediately. You need to find out why. You're right; all the fiddling with suid bits, setting XAUTHORITY variable to /home/shot/.Xauthority and running sudo ended with my user's ~/.Xauthority being root:root and having .Xauthority-c and -l files created in /home/shot. At least I got rid of the [drm:radeon_unlock] dmesg error by commenting out the dri module and adding Option DRI False to my graphic card settings. I moved my ~/.Xauthority to something else and it got recreated as shot:shot, so at least here everything seems ok. Today I got the (er, obvious...) idea of trying to run X/GNOME as another regular user (marta), and so far I know this: root's `startx` and `XFree86 :0 -nolisten tcp -dpi 100 sleep 2 DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-session` put him in a working GNOME. marta's `startx` puts her in GNOME, and she could `XFree86...` *once* to get to GNOME, but subsequent tries end with the Cannot move old logfile /var/log/XFree86.0.log.old fatal error.

Bug#232357: mkdirhier patch
The attached script fixes the problem by adding a conditional. Its not
a beautiful solution, but the original has similar workarounds:

Someone should forward upstream (whatever that is these days) and
beautify to taste. The original complaint is at [1].

i like this. how can it be implemented?
You'd add a section to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin that will look much like
the others, and update /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86{,.lst,.xml} to know about
it.
However, to get the modifier mappings working right, it looks like we'll
have to backport a feature from XFree86 CVS that was committted in late
2003.

Having said that, it's entirely possible that on other systems, such as anything with the rather common E8870 chipset, things might work OK. Shouldn't someone just write a glide-OpenGL wrapper and be done with it? ;) Duraid
