package xfce4-terminal retitle 434863 xfce4-terminal: Doesn't provide a way to avoid forking at startup thanks
Ok, I found the problem; while it is not a bug per se, it breaks other programs, since it doesn't follow the expected behavior. xfce4-terminal forks to a new window at startup: this causes the calling program -- in my case Sylpheed, but I'm sure this is true for other mail clients as well -- to think the editing session is finished, and to continue its tasks. So it should at least provide a command line switch (like gvim's -f option) to avoid forking, and this switch should be active by default in the wrapper script, since that script it's AFAIK supposed to provide an xterm-compatible interface, and xterm doesn't fork at startup. -- KiyuKo <eof AT kiyuko DOT org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
