Beside this you may not use the option -ls and you've the same environment as already in use _and_ your new xterm stays at the current subdir. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This change was done due resolve bug #401470 and no one has ever reported a problem since ... even our several icewm users around here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

First of all why do you use the xterm with its option -ls to force a login shell for every new xterm? Do you have some more special configuration within your setup? Please could you provide the environment of an xterm used without the option -ls that is the output of the printenv comand within such an xterm. With this I'd like to see if there is a way to avoid the problem for startx users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There seems to be no other way to transfer specific envvars to xterms in icewm. Dependent on $BG I set eg dircolors in startup dotfiles, so I need option -ls to read the dotfiles. $BG is also needed for conditional syntax highlighting in vim. Another reason for -ls is I prefer to have a deterministic environment in each xterm, not dependent on prior work on console when startx-ed from console. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
