I think you are right here. The windows I was popping up were
being unmapped so fast that I could not see the error messages
displayed within them. To see what the error messages were
I had to launch a cople dozen from my buttonbox and then chase
their titlebars: clicking on a titlebar is the only way of having
a window that's about to disappear stay on the desktop, hence
displaying the error messages I was looking for,
The following example should produce the error message:
Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/ls; \
/bin/ls; /bin/cat nonexistentfile"
Thanks,
Neil
