And just to make sure typing echo $SHELL returns the expected /bin/bash. But it turns out to be something of a false alarm. I went on about my business and in the course of things have closed several xterms and later opened new ones. Just now while preparing to respond to your reply I discover the newer xterms all work as expected. I happened to have logged clear out of X and back in so none of the other batch are around to check what was happening. It entirely possible it was all user induced somehow. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
