>Description:
Running Eterm with /bin/sh from a .xsession via xdm results in an
unusable shell.
>How-To-Repeat:
[1] chsh to /bin/sh or you can skip this part and invoke /bin/sh from step #4
[2] Use the following .xsession:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/Eterm& #for testing
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm& #for a usable shell
/usr/X11R6/bin/twm #for window management while testing
[3] Login from xdm
[4] Invoke /bin/sh if you didn't reset your default shell.
[5] Try typing in the Eterm window. This is what I get by
simply hitting the return key:
$ load: 0.40 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
load: 0.37 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
load: 0.37 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
load: 0.37 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
load: 0.37 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
No commands work either:
lsload: 0.03 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
setload: 0.03 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
clearload: 0.03 cmd: sh 873 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 360k
[6] If you spawn an Eterm from the xterm you also have open,
everything in the new Eterm works fine. It only seems to be
problem with Eterms spawned from xdm or from a WM that was
started via xdm.
