System name: malted-vanilla
Type and version: VAXSTAR 7.2L (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Do stuff under the terminal style login.
What's wrong:
I logged in. Then I started up twm and a second xterm.
When I tried to log out from the 2nd xterm (by typing "logout"),
it said "Not login shell" and gave me my prompt back. (I then
moved to the other xterm and logged out successfully.)
What should have happened:
It should have let me log out.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Release notes? (I haven't read any yet.)
There are also problems with the way the paradigms are mixed up with the
terminal style logi -- it looks (visually) like an xsession, but it
doesn't pay attention to Xresources. (This can be especially bad in the
cas of zwgc, since zwgc runs, even for those of us who don't normally
use it except under X.) I expect there's no room for design changes to
Xlogin for this release, but I expect to be getting some questions from
intermediate-level users once the release goes out.
