   Hi,
   
   how do I open xterm with a program? Let's say I want an icon on my
   desktop opening mc or mutt. What would the command be to have an
   xterm with one of these programs open automatically with xterm?

This will execute mutt, setting the Title bar and the icon name to
'mutt':

xterm -n mutt -T mutt -e mutt &
