Xterm and Ryan Seacrest

So, I made a HUGE mistake the other day when I put xterm-201 into portage. First of all, I hate when people do the straight to stable thing on architectures they know nothing about. So, that means I hate myself this time around.

The other thing is — well, now that xterm has a toolbar, we got requests to be able to enable it. I used to do it off the local USE flag. I decided, instead to just enable its building, but suppress it from automatically showing up when you fire up an xterm. So, I made a little patch, and released into the wild, after having tested it on my box.

Then, I tested some more on my box, and it turns out that a command like this: xterm -sl 14000 -sb -hold -geometry 150x10+10-30 -title “Camera” -e “time sudo nice -n -10 sudo -u $USER python MYPYTHONAPP.py $*” &

doesn’t actually work. In fact, it doesn’t work at all. Well, the xterm shows up, but it’s all blank. It’s hard to see whether the command in it is actually running, because the xterm is blank, and non-responsive. And trying to terminate those programs is a pain. So, like, I dunno what to do about this — but if someone out there knows, please let me know. I’m rather tempted to hard mask it in 24 hours without input, to be honest. (Though, I am planning on taking my problem to the excellent and brilliant Thomas Dickey and maybe he can guide me through this jungle.

In other news, can you believe Constantine got kicked off? Shocking, when people expected otherwise. Not that I’m a big fan, or any fan of the guy, but who’s voting for the other two yahoos?
