The process do not appear in 'ps fax' and the script outputs [Done] on all the jobs that were run in the background in the shell, so this is not the case. > 2) the X server has a bug, This does seem to be the case. The user and myself both tested this running an xsession with only an xterm. We could not reproduce it with only running an xterm. I decided to test another window manager, openbox in this case, and was able to reproduce the issue in openbox. So it seems to be some bug with how the xserver but may require a window manager to trigger it. In all cases trying to get any info from the xserver closes the windows. I have tried xprop, xwinfo and even just xdpyinfo and xvinfo will close all the windows that were left open when running that command. Thanks for the help, I will forward this bug on to xorg as it affects more than just fvwm. jaimos
