Then, during ten seconds, i get a blank xterm window without even a shell
prompt.

Yes it's into /usr/pkg/bin/ here. But even with full path, there is no
changes, neither using xterm -e nor typing it into an xterm directly.

I use screen-3.9.15 and it doesn't start into xterms.
No changes neither with no screenrc nor with the one found into
/usr/pkg/share/examples/screen/screenrc nor with my own one that looks
pretty like /usr/pkg/share/examples/screen/screenrc.

What could explain this difficulty i have? Screen works great on console,
but just doesn't launch into X for now:

	- when i type 'screen' directly into an xterm, nothing happends, i get the
next prompt with no error msg.

	- when i type 'xterm -e screen' into an xterm, the xterm close
fastly.

	- when i type 'xterm -e sh -c "screen ; sleep 10"', i get a blank
xterm (window title is ok: sh), with nothing in it... during ten seconds.

It could be a personnal mistake i did into some configuration, but i don't
see what other configurations than screenrc and $PATH could be related to
that matter.

That for your support.
