- I'm currently running Linux v0.99.1 and XFree86 1.1 using the X8514
- X server. When starting X (I'm using xdm) if I open an xterm from
- the olvwm desktop menu, certain programs will fail when invoked from
- this xterm, most notably more(1), which will display one screenfull
- of a file and then exit without giving a prompt, and occasionally
- kermit, which will start up normally, give the prompt, and then exit.
- The only thing that seems to be different about these xterms is that
- on the ps listing the control terminal is '?'. If I start an xterm
- from the command line of the first xterm, the programs work fine
- in the new xterm. Why does this problem occur?
