Thanks for your continuing help. Actually "ps aux" does not contain any mention of xterm, but does contain the entry konsole -caption=helen -icon -e /usr/bin/ssh -Y helen-vpn only when the menu item is running. My ignorant feeling is that a konsole window is opened, and then the ssh command creates the white-on-black window. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
