It's been nearly two weeks since I originally submitted this, and I don't think anyone else cares. I'm going to repeat myself here, but practically every application checks for environment variables before passwd. There's no good reason that st shoudln't, too. The only exceptions to that that I've ever run into are st and a Windows Java application that was ported to Linux. I did a quick survey of a number of other terminal emulators: tmux, xterm, GNU screen, rxvt and dvtm all check the SHELL environment variable. Checking SHELL is expected behaviour, and it's a useful one at that. Eric
