I am sorry to send the wrong code.  The `-e bash' was added when I
tried to figure out what went wrong (perhaps the -u8 not working
issue, but I do not remember exactly).  It does not work as intended.
The purpose of $@ here is to pass special xterm flags like `-cjk'.
The script should be:

#!/bin/sh
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -u8 -fn "*-medium-*--18-*-iso10646-1" -fb
"*-bold-*--18-*-iso10646-1" -fw "*-medium-*-ja-18-*-iso10646-1" $@ &

Thanks for giving hints, anyway.

Best regards,

Yongwei
