This has been a known problem, I believe it is in some bug reports.
I believe that most modern windows managers have this problem, I
know gnome, fluxbox, and kde don't work with the -T option.
You can some what get a work around this by using the -e option. It
is not the best solution, as you will loose the terminal if you
close the program. But I do it with top, and a dnetc client all
the time as these are always up. I always use them with the
background option of & so I have the current terminal window I
start it with useable.
