Hello, 

on the Mailinglist <debian-user-german> was one person which told me,
that this BUG is known in Debian/Sarge.  However, I have found no infos.

If xterm is called with

    Exec xterm -e program

then some environements variables are lost,  even if you try

    Exec xterm -e /bin/bash -c program

The solution is to call the program with a login shell

    Exec xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c program

or use "env" like

    Exec xterm -e env "TMPDIR=$TEMPDIR" program

last looks a little bit stupid to me...

Greetings
    Michelle Konzack
