Custom xterm in X11

[Attilla]

'Morning


I installed Leopard yesterday and everything workks fine. But one thing doesn't. I like to work with xterm in X11 (don't ask why) and I like my xterm to have a black background with white letters and some other settings.

To get this I have to start xterm like this:
xterm -sl 2048 -leftbar -sb -bg black -fg white

And that works perfect, only I want to bind cmd + N to it like I had in Tiger. So I did that like this:

But nothing happens when I press cmd + N. So I looked in the console and I found this:

10/28/07 8:25:43 AM org.x.X11[2458] login: xterm -sl 2048 -leftbar -sb -bg black -fg white:
10/28/07 8:25:43 AM org.x.X11[2458] No such file or directory

Ofcourse it says no such file or directory, but when I manually start it, it works. Does anyone have the same problem or does anyone know how to fix this problem?

If you replace xterm with the full path to xterm does it work? How about without all the arguments?

Without the arguments it works, but xterm only looks the first time at the xinitrc so I have to use arguments to get custom settings for the second time.

I just included the whole path, but unfortunately that didn't change it.

10/28/07 8:40:33 AM org.x.X11[2458] : No such file or directory

Well, I made a workaround:

bash-3.2$ cat /usr/X11/bin/xterm-black.sh 
/usr/X11/bin/xterm -sl 2048 -leftbar -sb -bg black -fg white

I just call xterm-black.sh in X11 and then it works. So it seems that there is a bug with the arguments in X11.
