The default menu of fvwm starts tcsh instead of just your default shell.

Root - USWEST !NTERPRISE Networking Service ptroot@uswest.com "My other major appointee will be Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf. I realize that, by putting this man in my administration, I run the risk of becoming wildly popular, but that's a risk I am willing to take. He'll be in charge of battling a domestic scourge that is every bit as much of a threat to this nation as any foreign power. That's right: I'm going to place him in charge of the War On Light Beer. As Light Beer Czar, Gen. Schwarzkopf will have a two-pronged mission, which is to find out (1) who is making this stuff, and (2) what happens to their breweries when you drop bombs on them." --- Some of Dave Barry's presidential campaign promises, 1992
