It was every time working...
Since the last update I can not use my ~/bin anymore.

I was switching from xserver from WOODY 3.0r0 to 4.1.0-16woody1
and now to Version: 4.1.0-16woody3 which does not more work
since five of six month.

I have had to rewrite all 180 BASH Scripts which was working bevore

For my Devel-Workststion I have WOODY as the base installed and the
chroots to WOODY, SARGE and SID. 

I have a fresh WOODY installation from CD 3.0r0 and it is working. 
After updating it stops to Work.

Oh yes, $HOME is availlable in fvwm and normaly xterm get it from
the invoiking Application so if I start an application like:

    Exec xterm -e myprogram

"myprogram" does atart correctly from the $HOME/bin bot does
not know anything about $HOME.

This is probably an error and stops programs of working.

If I start my probrams like 

    Exec exec myprogram

it works fine, because fvwm spans a non-login-shell which have
the $HOME because it get it from fvwm.

The Error above is only in '(u)xterm' and not in 'mlterm' or 'eterm'

Michelle
