Assuming I should run "ktrace -di xterm" it doesn't show any failure condition at the end, i.e. the last lines from the kdump are -- 90075 ktrace NAMI "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm" 90075 ktrace ARGS [0] = "xterm" -- To me that last line looks like the process launches successfully, yet no xterm window shows. All errors that are shown before these lines are because it tries to locate xterm in various system-folders until it finds it in /usr/X11R6/bin
@Dave: I'm running using snapshots, so it will take me some time to get to the stage where I can try your diff. I haven't gone through building xenocara before (aware that the FAQ describes how to do it).
