Btw another fix for this, if you aren't running X all the time and don't feel like playing w/ the DISPLAY variable is to alias xterm to run the login shell always i.e. alias xterm='xterm -e bash -l' On Tue, 16 Dec 2003, Steffen Lund Hokland wrote: > Dear all, > > Thanks Eric, Alexa

One caution for you: setting the DISPLAY variable when you aren't running X11 can confuse some applications. Emacs with X11 support (e.g. the Fink emacs* or xemacs packages) comes to mind: if DISPLAY is undefined you can use (x)emacs in a Terminal.app window, but with DISPLAY set it tries to
