I've had various problems with the newer versions of Eterm, in testing and unstable. Most are now either resolved or are already in the Bug Archive (the weird tty group ownership for instance).
One problem remains, though, and it strikes me as really strange. When Eterm is called, I get a terminal beep and this string: 1;2c appears after the shell prompt. Has anyone else seen this, or have any clue where these symbols might be coming from? Jim
