: I have some trouble on my Sparc SLC with SunOS 4.1.2. When I login, only ONE xterm appears (started from .Xsession). Due to some race condition a different xterm from the ones invoked in .Xsession will appear at different times. My login shell is the tcsh. When I invoke a xterm manually in back- or foreground, xterm exits without creating anything on the screen with status 0. When I invoke xterm with -e /bin/sh, the window appears. When I type csh, tcsh or ksh in this window, it disappears immediatel
: n I open a xterm with -e rlogin localhost -l root, this appears and all subsequent xterm, which failed before, will work. When I exit this root xterm, the same strange behavior continues. Note that this happens only with one of these shells, but the Bourne shell works.

: My .cshrc and .login are correct, and the problem remains even when I move them away. .Xerrors does not contain any trace. All device permissions and owners are as usual, the shells and xterm, too.
