In ide/Host.cpp:

................................
#ifdef PLATFORM_POSIX
/*	if(console) // why this does not work?!
		cmdline = "/usr/bin/xterm -hold -e " + cmdline;*/

I don't understand your question.... If I add :

................................
#ifdef PLATFORM_POSIX
        console = true;
	if(console) // why this does not work?!
		cmdline = "/usr/bin/xterm -hold -e " + cmdline;
................

That works quite well, opens an xterm and runs app.
The only stuff I don't understand is why 'console' is set to false on entering Launch().
BTW, no crash at all....

Too weird. On my rig, it ends with broken X11 (most likely) - it starts returning a lot of X11 errors and eventually ends on segfault.

Looks like some weird issue with fork, hard to say...

Hm, console == true if application is build with CONSOLE mode. It is true I did tested only with such apps, while you might be trying with X11 apps.. maybe a clue?!
