I think Jimi is saying that it doesn't appear to be launching a separate 
terminal / shell. Right?

Assuming that's what's happening, the devshell code is supposed to print out 
an error when it can't launch a suitable terminal, but if the terminal isn't 
doing what it should then that might leave you in this situation. Does 
log.do_devshell for the recipe indicate anything?

Cheers,
Paul
