   doesn't work. Nothing happens. If I remove the last xterm then an
   xterm pops up as expected, as in

   + "All" Exec xterm &

   but if I add a semicolon

   + "All" Exec xterm &;

   then nothing happens

   Tricky, only thing I can think of is 'ps x' to see if the process's
   are stopped. It seems that as long as I don't move into the mouse
   into the window it stay in that state. All other windows are functional.
   The question is what to examine. Suggestions are welcome.
