If the x-terminal-emulator puts itself into background, then the starting terminal ends immediately. test_script: #!/bin/sh xterm & Executed by chmod u+x ./test_script exec ./test_script kills the terminal. (Combining "exec" and "&" in the interactive shell does not kill the shell and the terminal: exec xterm & ) What happens if you run x-terminal-emulator without "exec". Does the shell prompt come back immediately ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
