Jeremy,

I am on 2.6.0 alpha2, xorg-server 1.8.99.906, something strange happens to 
xterm. If I start X11 there is one xterm window open - which is fine, but if 
I start another one from the menu (edit>xterm) I got a black window. 

I got following messages:

I can start any xterm from KDE - and its just fine.
