Bug#243598: xterm stops responding to window delete events after -e su logs in
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal
If I type 'xterm -e su', and then send the resulting window a delete
command using my window manager (twm, doing an f.delete), it will
disappear and xterm exits. However, if I type in the root password
then attempting to delete the window has no effect.
If I type 'xterm', then type 'su' inside the new xterm, I can still
delete the window after I type the root password.
