SHY & SELF-DESTRUCTIVE X-TERMS After typing "xterm &" to invoke a fresh window on my display, a process will be started, but the new window does not appear until 5 or more minutes later. The tardy xterm session can then be selected; however, as soon as the <RETURN> key is hit at the end of the command line, the window implodes into itself. We are running Ultrix 4.0 on a DECstation 3100 with 24MB RAM. The problem occurs on the console running X R3 as well as the NCD X terminals on R4. On some days the problem is rampant. On other days it doesn't seem to happen. Although this might not have a lot to do with it, the problem began after we increased the number of X terminals on the system from 2 to 6. The system runs fine in all other respects. Send help! Paul University of Washington Information Systems prsmith@u.washington.edu 206.543.2037 __
