It's funny how you can use *nix for years and years and still pick up
little bits like that one, which seem like conventional wisdom.
It's also funny how you can use *nix for years and years, and think you
know what you're talking about enough to second guess someone
@redhat.com, and then promptly get put in your place. :)
Funny, I learned about passing xterm a command to execute from your
email. :)
Sheepishly,
Jason.
Seriously, your email was fine. I am sure there will be things that
people will need to correct me on, and I did learn something from the email.
Remember the our goal is to improve the performance of the Linux
Desktop, not to be correct every single time.

PS I learned today that gnome actually uses gnome-terminal rather than
xterm.
