Hi,


I upgraded an SMGL box with devel-xorg grimoire and was hit by urxvt
not being able to open pseudo-ttys anymore. Then I stumbled over this:

Javier, would you like to elaborate? It seems like putting users in tty
group or setting urxvt setgid tty works ... but why is that suddenly
necessary? And why does xterm not need that (it has setgid utmp ... an
different matter)?

I find it rather disturbing when my main tool refuses to work for
unclear reasons.

What fix should be put into the spell? It shouldn't really be necessary
to put users in a special group so that they are able to start X11
terminals (other than xterm, duh).


Alrighty then,

Thomas
