I've been starting xt5250 from an xterm window like this:

xt5250 as400

Perhaps there is still something odd going on. Could you start xt5250 and then run the following command:

ps ax | grep xterm

Then look for the line that matches your instance of xt5250. Mine says this:

2121 pts/2 S 0:00 xterm -name xt5250 -bg black -fg white -T xt5250 - era1 +sb -tn xterm-5250 -geometry 80x25 -e /usr/bin/xt5250 -BOOT era1

(that is all one line)

I'm thinking gnome might be setting some variable on xterm and I'm hoping that the above command will reveal what it is. Of course, I could also be totally wrong. You can test by starting X without starting gnome and using some other window manager/desktop manager.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
