I'm running an up-to-date version of LinuxMint (an Ubuntu-fork), and I've noticed that who, w and last have all stopped registering activity on terminal-emulators (like xterm) - eg. if you open a terminal under X.  The only thing registered, is that the WindowManager/DesktopEnviroment is runnung on a VirtualTerminal (eg. /dev/tty7 or /dev/tty8).If I log-in to one of the VirtualTerminals on F1-F6 (/dev/tty1-6), that is registered.  Also if I log-in with ssh in a terminal-emulator under X.  Multiple terminals made with screen are also registered (even when used in a terminal-emulator under X)But just opening a terminal-emulator (and running programs in it) are no longer noticed.AFAIK, users currently logged-in are registered in /var/run/utmp, while previous log-ins (and boots) are logged in /var/log/wtmp - and these files are used by who, w and last.So for some reason, opening a terminal-emulator in X is no-longer registered in these logs.  While there are some sense in this (I'm not actually logging-in), I would much preferred that it was logged... not at least since I then could use w to see what I'm doing in various shells.So is there a way to turn back on the logging of terminal-emulators?  Preferably so that also how long they stayed open was also registered...
LinuxMint - `who`, `w` and `last` don't report terminal-emulators anylonger
