Does this give you a xterm terminal and a xterm prompt, at which you
start your Strathclyde stuff?
> Does the quite mode you mentioned fit in here somewhere?
I'm sorry, I don't use startx, with or without arguments. But I do
notice that if at the bash prompt I try
startx # no arguments
then this generates a lot of gunk amongst which I find the line
XWin was started ...
and at the end of which I have one xterm window (not the 3 that your
.xinitrc creates: do you need 3, or indeed any?)
So my rather unhelpful response isn't (I'm afraid) "tweak your existing
startup protocol to include the switch -nolisten local" because I don't
know how to do this, I'm sorry. But you could try
bash # to start bash
$ run XWin -nolisten local # at the bash prompt
$ ps # to check you've got a running XWin
$ xterm -display localhost:0.0 # to get your xterm terminal with
prompt, if needed
$ {whatever, to start the Strathclyde stuff}
and see whether you end up with what you are familiar with AND it's
quiet?
Sorry, probably not very helpful. (IKWWFMATWID, meaning "I know what
works for me and that's what I do", pronounced I Don't Give A Toss About
Anybody Else. Not in fact true, but it might as well be ...)
