Eterm usually tells the shell that the term is "Eterm". Some shells can't cope with this, and want more traditional values such as "xterm", or "vt100". You can tell Eterm to impersonate another terminal type by adding the line term_name $TERM to the theme configuration (/usr/share/Eterm/themes/Eterm/theme.cfg), where $TERM is the name of the term you want Eterm to impersonate (for instance, I have it set to 'xterm': term_name xterm ) This fixes these problems for me.
