Curiouser and curiouser. "rxvt -e bash -c exit" pops us the rxvt window
right away then disappears (after a few seconds) as expected, "time rxvt -e
bash -c exit" hangs. "xterm -e bash -c exit" pauses before appearing, "time
xterm -e bash -c exit" runs in, well it's weird:
eben@pc:~$ time xterm -e bash -c exit
real 0m5.029s
user 0m0.011s
sys 0m0.005s
X is honked up (in a way that hangs rxvt but not xterm)?
