Can't close xterm in 13.04!

[DmitryKX]

Vanilla Lubuntu 13.04. Steps to reproduce:

1) open LXTerminal
2) in the opened terminal run "sudo xterm", enter password
3) in the opened xterm run "xterm -e su nobody"
4) try to close the new opened xterm with the X button in the window title

Result: this xterm won't close. To close it I need to type "exit" or press Ctrl+D

278 is more than a year old (2012/05/10).

The report, by the way reminds me of a case which was due to the shell,
rather than xterm.
