When my x window starts,many terminal windows appears(about 6 or 7 ) I have changed .xinitrc and Xsession just for locale setting (export LANG=zh_TW.Big5 export LC_ALL=zh_TW.Big5 export XMODIFIER="@im=xcin") Did I change any X setting to make it so curious? How should I do to make it normal(don't appear any terminal window when X start) Thanks I use woody,gnome 1.4 *I'm sorry for my poor English .....
