I have noticed this also, but dont know how to correct it. Just sticking a
& after it makes the icon reappear, but it doesnt click. Surrounding it in
quotes gives an error. I tried nohup Eterm &, but it did the same thing as
just &, the icon reappeared, but wasnt clickable.
What I have done is just use the root menus if I need more than one Eterm
open, its a pain, but when Im in X its usually just for netscape anyway,
so I dont notice it much. But I just spent $80 on a new mouse, and $10
dollars on a new mouse pad so Im trying to use X more =)
