I'd be curious to know if the KF5 Konsole is affected similarly (that one can even be used in native cocoa and in X11 mode), but I won't ask because of the amount of work (building ports from my macstrop ports tree) required to install it... >However, after all of my playing around, xterm is now working as it should. >All the cd’ing, ls’ing, in all kinds of circumstances seems to have set >something. IMHO this still doesn't make sense; commands like `ls` are spawned by the shell you have running inside your terminal emulator, not by the terminal emulator itself. The `cd` command however is executed directly by the shell, so if cd'ing works the shell apparently has the necessary permissions. FWIW, the tcsh shell has a built-in `ls-F` command, which could be interesting to try. Also interesting: install the coreutils package from Macports and see if `gls` (GNU ls) has the same problems as /usr/bin/ls. Either way, this does reek of a bug somewhere, for which a radar should be filed. After all XQuartz has always has some form of support (if not just acknowledgement) from Apple.
