[Eug-lug] Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy not ready for prime time

[Allen Brown]

As a followup, the crashes (or immediate exits) listed below
apply only when the terminal program is started from a menu
or icon.  If I start it from a running terminal, there is no
problem.

Of course, that still doesn't help with KDE, since I don't
have a working terminal program there.

I checked ~/.xsession-errors for any hints.  Nothing shows up.
I don't know where else to look.

I am seeing things in ~/.xsession-errors, but they don't seem
to have anything to do with starting terminal programs.
Window manager warning: Log level 8: gtk_paint_box: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed
repeated hundreds of times.
