In an X session started by startx this is not true. 65764 3 imz 2008-03-14 04:22:49 +0300 Eterm-0.9.3-alt2 xterm-232-alt1 doesn't behave like this; xterm refuses to start with no DISPLAY. Does this mean that too many privileges are given to Eterm? 65960 4 imz 2008-03-16 22:23:36 +0300 No, the correct formulation is not "this happens in an X session started by an xdm" but: this happens in the first X session (started by xdm or startx). Also, if the same user starts a second X session, and unsets DISPLAY there and starts Eterm (or aterm, https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14898 ), the Eterm will appear not on that second display, but rather on the other first one. Isn't it an odd behavior that should better be fixed? 84147 5 dottedmag 2009-01-10 01:30:51 +0300 Eterm из Сизифа (0.9.5-alt1) больше не пытается коннектиться к случайным дисплеям.
