Bug Description
As of relatively recently in onieric, if I run xterm, my X session ends abruptly.
tested with gnome-shell's alt+f2 runner as well as running from within a gnome-terminal command line.

- running 'xterm' exists X session + running 'xterm' crashes X server |
Are you using lightdm or gdm?
Can you attach your .xsession-errors file from after reproducing the bug?
You mentioned the regression started just recently; could you narrow down on a date range? We haven't had much change in X, so it's possible the bug is due to something else; knowing roughly when the regression started we can examine your dpkg.log to see what might be causing it. I'm attaching a parsed list of packages that you upgraded in the past couple days.
I notice there was a kernel upgrade in this period; you could try booting into 3.0.0-8 and see if you can reproduce it there (hold down the left shift during boot to bring up the kernel boot menu).
