Yes, I am fully aware of that. In my original post I wondered if Emacs  
for some reason *thinks* it is running in a terminal and thus displays  
the terminal mode splash screen. But #2 and #4 are different, thus I  
proved myself wrong.

Well, "set" displays a few screens full of environment variables, so,  
yes, of course there are some and they have to be there. But none of  
these affected Emacs before upgrading to 23.2.1. BTW launching another  
xterm from an xterm works without problems.

Markus
