Description Mikael Lammentausta 2006-04-15 13:24:52 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.4 
OS:                Linux

I use /bin/screen, and now I learned to use konsole tabs. I would like to use both, but it seems that when I have both of them on, I cannot launch X apps from the command line anymore. They can't bind to X. :(

This bug only appears from within screen in a konsole that has other tabs open.

Works fine here. Check if DISPLAY is still set when you enter screen.

Note: you must start the screen session from within X. Otherwise, it won't work.
