Right. Well, you'll just have to change this one. I don't like it either but it wasn't up to us. Some debian policy or other. You can change this (I believe) by editing /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. There should be a line in there like: *.termName: xterm-debian So just change xterm-debian to xterm. Alternatively you could just modify your own .Xdefaults or .Xresources but if you're like me you'll want to change it system-wide. > 2) i dont know if it is a xterm or a bash problem but when i start a new > xterm the ~/.bashrc isn't being read. Highly improbable. bash should always read the .bashrc. On the other hand, it will only read your .bash_profile if it is run as a "login shell". You can tell xterm to do this by adding the -ls option on the command line or by adding an X resource of loginShell setting it to true. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
