Yes: tcsh.

That problem goes away but there seem to be new (unrelated?) problems.
When I start on xterm on the remote server, the client crashes:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xpra/client_window.py", line
  210, in do_realize
      if self.is_toplevel():
  AttributeError: 'ClientWindow' object has no attribute 'is_toplevel'
  Segmentation fault

I tried to build a patched xpra-5.3.3 using the src.rpm but get

ERROR: cannot find a valid pkg-config package for ['libswscale']

(even before patching).
