yep, the thing is,that when I start atom from the shell, it doesn't block the shell as 'normal' application does... and it doesn't output anything. so I don't see any error messages at all from it. It is apparently supposed to write some messages to it's internal debug console, but nothing goes there either.
I am wondering if there somewhere is send a message to 'X' that results in an error... I just don't know where to look....
