The following patch has been REVERTED in this release:
* "Use bash login shell to execute the commands started from the tray
menu": This could cause lengthly delays in launching programs depending
on the contents of the user's .bash_profile. Instead, xinit-1.1.1-5
launches XWin itself in a login shell, which should have the same effect.
I think you may have also reverted some improvements that had been made
to /etc/X11/system.XWinrc. As a result, starting xterm from the tray
menu no longer starts a login shell. I would suggest something like the
following, as we discussed in the thread starting at
