With the latest aterm update in tc-5.x repo (as of Sept 11 2013) applications which utilize cliorx will no longer start from the desktop menu or wbar. For example Wifi.sh, but I have many shell scripts which start from the wbar and/or the desktop menu which use cliorx yet will no longer start in X. While the app appears to be running somewhere in the background as indicated in TOP, I can't find a running terminal. On occasion I have closed X with Ctrl + Alt + F1 and found the script running in text mode, but this is intermittent.
Installing the previous aterm.tcz (Aug 28 2013) restores cliorx functionality.
