Both packages (rxvt, xterm) provide the virtual package x-terminal-emulator and are managed by the alternatives system. In case you're not familiar with it, that system allows you to configure which package, from among many that provide a certain function, will be the preferred provider on your system. See man update-alternatives for a more thorough explanation, or simply use update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator for the quick fix. It will list all the packages you have installed which provide x-terminal-emulator and ask you which one you want to use. 'fraid I can't help much with why rxvt runs slowly, though. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
