Package: xterm
Version: 302-1
Severity: important
Hi *,
I’ve got a script that dumps the contents of the environment at
startup to syslog, and just used it to investigate a user-visible
problem. tl;dr: the output of xterm -e dumpargs differs between
screen 301-1 (Debian) and 302-1 (Debian; no idea if this bug is
also upstream):
Among the usual differences like $PGRP and $WINDOWID I have:

User story: I use “xterm -e screen” (basically) to start GNU screen,
which then has “shell "-${SHELL}"” in ~/.screenrc which should really
really not be empty. Also, xterm IMHO has no business touching that
part of my environment.
