Aquamacs and Terminal workaround [message #58452]

I'm running IDL 6.4 and 7.0 on OS X Leopard (Intel) and I kept finding
that my widgets freeze up when I start IDL from Aquamacs or Terminal.
I would usually have problems trying to close a widget.

I put a bug request into ITTVIS, but it doesn't carry much purpose
because everything is supposed to happen from Eclipse. In reality, I
use Aquamacs and IDL for quick alterations on the road or when I
cannot connect to the license server. I also use Aquamacs when I want
to debug DLMs or run GNU debugger.

I've noticed that I can pretty much solve the problem by calling
xterm& on startup. I noticed that this happens in Eclipse as well. You
can make sure this happens by adding the following line to your
IDL_STARTUP file.

spawn, "xterm&"

Cheers,

Robbie
