I'm novice but stumbled into a configuration that works OK for me. I type 'startx' and get an X environment with three xterms.
Yesterday I meant to type 'cat Foo > Bar' but accidentally left off the '>'. Foo was a binary file and that xterm became unusable. Today I type 'xstart' and get only two xterms, with an error shown in the subject line. My workaround is to modify .xinitrc to start FOUR xterms so I get THREE to work with, but I'd prefer a "real" fix. I'd like to be less helpless. Will someone show me what queries or searches would have worked to figure this out myself via FAQ's?
