Hi,

commit fe417e8a4d625c6933de72163d2fee52ac47f571

    cmd1.bbclass: Ensure ncurses is built and used for menuconfig tasks

    Currently, the task just exits if something goes wrong. This adds the
    ncurses-native dependency. It also adds a small delay before closing the
    window so any messages displayed there can be seen.

    Trying to get the kernel build system to correctly find and link with
    our copy of ncurses is some kind of nightmare. I ended up having to add
    it to HOST_LOADLIBES globally for this task which is rather nasty but I
    couldn't find any other way.

    [YOCTO #2513]

    Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie at linuxfoundation.org>

my menuconfig is unusable (see screenshot attached). I reverted it and
can work as before.

I am working on Fedora 15 and set in my local.conf

TERMCMD = "${GNOME_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN = "${GNOME_TERMCMDRUN}"
