Well, that's completely bizarre. I'm not having this problem, and neither is anyone else I know or have heard of. Can you reproduce this problem in a bare-bones X environment? E.g., # startx $(which x-terminal-emulator) -- :1 (If no X server is running at DISPLAY=:0, you can leave off the "-- :1" part). This will launch the X server running a lone terminal client with no window manager. Try to reproduce the behavior from there. -- G.
