I'd get a:
/home/nowan/.xsession:fg:164: no job control in this shell.
in my .xsession-errors, which would then continue on as if the wm had
exited, logging me out. I've reverted back to zsh-beta
4.3.2-dev-1+20060815-1 and the problem's disappeared. Ordinarily I call
it as '#!/bin/zsh', but when the problem showed up I did try it as
'#!/bin/zsh-beta' on the off chance it was confused and going into some
emulation mode. I've included a copy of my .xsession below, if that's
useful.
I'd be happy to upgrade back to the current zsh-beta and run some tests,
if you'd like. I admit that when this showed up it was first thing in
the morning, I hadn't had any coffee, and I had to get my daughter to
her first day of first grade, so I probably wasn't terribly thorough
trying to track down the problem. Sorry about the terseness of my bug
report.
