It doesn't return anything on the terminal I launch it from, but decrypts the
file in an xterm and then closes it (the xterm). So the gpg part works fine.

The gpg part does not fail, because when I run:
xterm -fg green -bg black -e 'gpg Personal/data.ods.gpg && oocalc \
Personal/data.ods'
An xterm opens up asks for a passwd to decrypt the file, decrypts it and
launches OOo. However, the xterm dies immediately after that.
On my x86 machine, the xterm stays open until I close OOo. This is how it
should work; i.e. the xterm should continue to run as long as any processes
within it are still running.
This makes me think that it may be some env or profile difference ...? What
would control this behaviour in an xterm?
