It starts with everything in plain text (the menu, no scrollbars etc.) and prints a lot of error messages. --- [<a href="mailto:ivan@arrakis" target="_new">ivan@arrakis</a> DATA]$ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 [<a href="mailto:ivan@arrakis" target="_new">ivan@arrakis</a> DATA]$ Eterm Eterm: Error: Unable to load image file \"tile/twisted.jpg\" Eterm: Error: Unable to locate image \"tile/twisted.jpg\" in the image path.

I was wrong: the scrollbar is there, but still the terminal looks much uglier than before. There is no horizontal bar, no background image.
This bug is not reproducable. All graphical interface elements are loaded properly. There are nice backgrounds, scrollbar, buttonbar, popup menu. Check your Eterm installation and configs. Eterm-0.9.1-alt1.1
the trace log attached shows what the problem is (obtained by strace -e trace=file -o eterm.trace Eterm). Look at this line: open(\"/usr/lib/imlib2/loaders/image/xpm\", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(\"/usr/lib/imlib2/loaders/image/xpm.la\", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) It tries to use the .la-files. They are not part of the imlib2 package, they are provided by imlib2-devel: $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/imlib2/loaders/image/xpm.la imlib2-devel-1.0.5-alt1 $ (And indeed, after installing imlib2-devel Eterm is again nice.) Perhaps, this is a bug of libtool, or of the build and packaging procedure.
Thanks. Problem fixed in the imlib2-1.0.5-alt2 package. Please test it.
It works fine. (Eterm-0.9.1 is great!) I would close the bug, if it was resloved.
