Xterm does not start in root directory


Hi,
When I start Xterm from Fvwm2, it does not give the start prompt as /root: but gives the prompt as :/usr/local/share/ethereal/diameter.

I did not make any changes to the settings knowingly. If you can tell me how to make the root as the default directory when the Xterm starts up, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Using: Redhat Linux 6.2
