Lubos,

If you go into your vmd startup script and replace the lines that look
like this:

    if ("$VMDWEBHELPER" == "1") then
      exec $VMD_WINTERM -T "vmd console" $VMD_WINGEOM $VMD_WINOPTS \
                "$VMDDIR/$execname" $*
    else
      exec $VMD_WINTERM -T "vmd console" $VMD_WINGEOM $VMD_WINOPTS \
                "$VMDDIR/$execname" $* &
    endif

with this:

    if ("$VMDWEBHELPER" == "1") then
      exec $VMD_WINTERM -T "vmd console" $VMD_WINGEOM $VMD_WINOPTS \
                "$VMDDIR/$execname" $*
    else
        exec "$VMDDIR/$execname" $*
    endif

you'll get no separate terminal.

Cheers,
Justin
