Hi, I posted regarding this a few days ago, but never got a reply-- so
I'll reply as I did last time:
I can confirm this, insofar as the red closing button does not work.
Nor do cmd-W or the Window->Close window menu work.
Typing "exit" at the command prompt works, it closes the window.
I thought I'd try asking my question in a different way:
With Tiger, I started my xterm app by doing the following:
xterm -e login -fp <myusername>
This resulted in a window with "last login: bla bla ttys001", and
.bashrc & .bash_profile being newly executed.
With Leopard when I do this, the window is frozen and cannot be
closed, and I have found that it is because of the "-fp".. If I
remove it, the window behaves correctly, however I am prompted with a
password when the window appears.
This one I cannot confirm. For me, without the "-fp" the close button is
as inoperational as with the "-fp".
How can I bypass the needing to enter my password, and why does -fp
cause the window not to be closeable?
It is a weird bug that seems to behave differently for different people.
Probably depending on login shell (tcsh in my case) and perhaps some
contents of the shell startup scripts or environment variables.
path_helper is not involved, as far as I can tell.
