For some surprising reason the ''''Custom'''' selection does not behave. Mac users should rather choose ''''Run the console'''' which also results in an ''xterm'' being opened for you.

'''It is really important that you use this ''Custom'' setting'''. Choosing a conventional window manager will probably fail (the most favorable case) or if it does actually work, it will consume a huge amount of resources on the machine you are logging into, making life harder on everyone. ''Do not choose anything except '''Custom'''.''
