Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0-7 Severity: normal If I type 'xterm -e su', and then send the resulting window a delete command using my window manager (twm, doing an f.delete), it will disappear and xterm exits. However, if I type in the root password then attempting to delete the window has no effect.
If I type 'xterm', then type 'su' inside the new xterm, I can still delete the window after I type the root password. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.6-8 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.2.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 4.3.0-7 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 4.3.0-7 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw7 4.3.0-7 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 4.3.0-7 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 4.3.0-7 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0-7 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0-7 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0-7 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 4.3.0-7 X Window System client data -- no debconf information
