[Eug-lug] bad terms

[Ben Barrett]

Do you know what shell is being started (your, or your distro's, default)?

...maybe its config is conflicting with something in X?  if so, commenting out
parts of its config files could help identify the problem; or maybe just try a
different shell to see if that helps...

sorry, not much help here  = )
