Problems Opening text programs in X . . .
Hello to the list,
I have a bizarre problem that began a few days ago, nothing serious,
but just something that is bugging me. A few days ago, I installed wterm and
removed xterm. No problem, everything was working fine. But then, I
reinstalled xterm and removed wterm, and this is where my problems began.
Now, none of my programs that require an x-shell will start from my Debian
menu.
In other words, I can open an xterm and type mutt, top, etc. and
those programs will run fine. But I can no longer select those items from a
Debian menu in X. I see them listed in the menu, but when I click on them,
nothing happens. Now, here is the clincher: if I reinstall the wterm
package, everything in the menu resumes working. It seems that somewhere,
these items are needing wterm to run from the menu.
The details:
I am running fvwm window manager on a woody box.
Here is what my /usr/lib/menu/mutt says:
?package(mutt):needs="text" section="Apps/Net"\
title="Mutt"\
command="/usr/bin/mutt"
Any help would be appreciated in helping me to fix this.
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
