- The terminal needs to be reset. The problem is evidently that
- .login/.profile is not executed when xinit invokes xterms. One
- solution is to run xdm instead. Or a reset/tset can be put in .cshrc
- (for interactive shells only! - so the which command doesn't reset the
- screen). Unfortunately tset is not part of the distribution yet...
- Since I don't like invoking reset even on interactive shells except at
- login, I just type reset as the first command after xinit. Is there a
- better way? Thanks.
