[offtopic] You might also want to look into using the screen(1) utility. I have found that doing "screen foo" (from within a screen session) is often a superior way to achieve the things people often use "xterm -e foo" for. Especially if they have scripts pop up lots of applications in separate terminals. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.dyndns.org> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
