Description Mark Piper 2004-02-25 23:16:17 UTC

To use the Escreen feature of Eterm (Eterm -t Escreen), screen must be merged BEFORE emerging Eterm.  Otherwise, Eterm will exit immediately when started.  (Normal eterm, without screen functionality, will still work.)

Perhaps an escreen use var should be made, or just have screen become a dependency of eterm.

A similar problem may exist w/ Eterm's twin support, though I haven't checked.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  On a system where screen has never been merged, emerge x11-terms/eterm
2.  Emerge screen
3.  Run Eterm -t Escreen

Actual Results:  
Watch it exit immediately :-)
