xterminal actually works from within the UI? Even the most recent build from

has problems. It launches but you see only a black screen, which you need to
exit by typing blindly “exit”.
Just FYI, I'm experiencing a similar issue with MeeGo Handheld for
N900, I can only see the commands/output when the window is 'zoomed
out' in the task switcher.
I found a workaround for this somewhat accidentally. Start xterm and blindly start another xterm from it (i.e. type "xterm" followed by return). Now put the (first) xterm into the switcher by tapping in the upper left corner. Once in the switcher, tap on the window of the xterm to bring it back, and voila, you have a prompt and the xterm command you just issued. Press ctrl-z to stop the (second) xterm and there you go.

I'm sure there are other way to accomplish this, but this is the one I stumbled on. I think the underlying reason is a bug in the compositor, which for some reason does not manifest itself when there are more windows.
