x-terminal-emulator & xterm

[Andy Saxena <andyML@nyc.rr.com>]

Hi,

For some reason, when I invoke x-terminal-emulator, which points to
xterm, results in different background, foreground, etc. settings than
if I were to invoke xterm directly.

In general, if xterm is invoked via a symlink, the result is different!
I was under the impression that invoking a program via a symlink is
transparent as far as the execution context of the program is concerned.


Could somebody be so kind as to explain this?


Thanks,
Andy
