That's funny, because mine does work. I spent quite a lot of time
looking at the bash man page over the years to determine how to properly
meet said needs. I use the exact same setup on Solaris 7/8/9/10 (bash
v2) and FreeBSD 4/5/6/7/8 (bash v3), and it works exactly how the man
page describes.

Everyone lecturing me needs to read, slowly, the INVOCATION part of the
bash man page. The method I described above should become apparent
afterwards.

No, I do not use X anywhere. The OP may be using it.
