Hi,

when I close a xterm window (from the window manager) after I ran
"sudo -i" in it, the screen blinks, this does not happen if I become
superuser using "sudo -s" or "su".

I don't think this is DE related, as I get this with Gnome and XFCE;
and I get this behavior also with other terminal emulators like
gnome-terminal and aterm, so maybe this not xterm specific either,
forgive me if I am abusing the xterm bugs for this.

Does it have anything to do with the xserver authorization model and
sudo itself? Any idea about where should I report it?

It is not a great problem from the user POV but I am curios about what
is triggering this behavior, and whether it is reproducible by other
people as well or it may depend on something in my environment.

Thanks,
