In my original post I wondered if Emacs for some reason *thinks* it is running in a terminal and thus displays the terminal mode splash screen. But #2 and #4 are different, thus I proved myself wrong. > If it is the same version of emacs that you run on the instances 2 and > 3, I would look for a X issue.

Well, "set" displays a few screens full of environment variables, so, yes, of course there are some and they have to be there. But none of these affected Emacs before upgrading to 23.2.1. BTW launching another xterm from an xterm works without problems. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38
