Looking at the reverse depends of xterm you'll see that xorg depends on it. It pulls in a set of bare bones apps that can be used with out a full fledged window manager. But more to the point, gdm also depends on xterm as it is used for its fail safe terminal. - Andrew Starr-Bochicchio -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
