Hi. If I open multi-aterm and immediately hit <control>-d, it closes immediately (as it should). If, however, I leave it open for some time (it doesn't seem to matter if I actually use it) and then hit <control>-d, it takes some 2 seconds to actually close. multi-aterm also crashes sometimes when I open a new tab, but I unfortunately lost the core dump (must have thought it was from Firefox and deleted it). The obvious workaround is to exit with <alt>f4, but: 1-) <control>-d is in my muscle memory 2-) <alt>-f4 is hard to press because f4 is too far away 3-) this probably indicates a bug in the multi-aterm code; perhaps even related to the crash problem. another workaround is to exit by typing 'exit' and hitting enter, but <control>-d is more practical. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open multi-aterm 2. wait at least 6 seconds (perhaps this varies from machine to machine) 3. hit <control>-d Actual Results: It takes some 2 seconds to close Expected Results: Should have exited immediately, like all other terminal emulators do when I hit <control>-d. emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.7 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r3, 2.6.21-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21-gentoo-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 17:00:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.32 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--nospinner" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.localhost.net.ar/ http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://mirrors.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LANG="pt_BR" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/jorgeportage /usr/portage/local/layman/enlightenment" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext 7zip X aac aalib acpi alsa aotuv bash-completion bogofilter branding bzip2 cairo cdr cracklib dbus divx dri emacs emacs-w3 encode evo fam firefox fortran gcj gcl gif glibc-omitfp gmedia gnuplot gpm gstreamer gtk2 gzip-el iconv ipv6 jpeg kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility lesstif libcaca lirc mad matroska midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng moznopango mp2 mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia offensive ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf png pppd psyco python qt3support quicktime readline realmedia rtc sdl session sox spell sse ssl svg symlink tcltk tcpd theora tiff tk toolkit-scroll-bars truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vorbis wmp x86 xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="cmipci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INITNG_PLUGINS="also bash_launcher chdir chroot conflict cpout critical cron daemon dev dllaunch envparser find fstat history idleprobe initctl interactive iparser last limit logfile netprobe ngc4 pause pidfile reload renice rlparser simple_launcher stcmd stdout suid syncron syslog unneeded provide" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIRC_DEVICES="inputlirc" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
