It worked. I somehow forgot that change while typing.This did a little better but xmond.log was still empty. However, it didn't crash but returned the following to the console instead:Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to 127.0.0.1:1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).The following from strace that is consistent for each of 2 attempts: read(7, 0xbfffdd10, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
I don't know if this is just a cheap workaround or a real solution but I've discovered that adding LANG=en_US to .bash_profile stops the crashing. It appears that even though en_US is my default it is automatically set to en_US.UTF-8 when loading an xterm. I guess I'll put off determining why until some future time unless you have any ideas?
In any case thanks for the assist. Regards, Terry. tcarney@selterra.com http://haven.selterra.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Public GPG Key: http://www.selterra.com/pubkeys/tcarney.asc http://wecanstopspam.org
