This is in testing (currently squeeze, I believe). I log in using gdm. My default window manager is icewm. I click on the little square icon on the bar at the bottom (the one that says "XTerm" in a white box when I hover the nouse over it), and nothing happens.
I do this repeatedly, and still nothing happens. I start iceweasel, and wait until it comes up. Now, when I press the xterm icon, an xterm comes up quickly. Presumably, iceweasel starts some kind of service that the so-called xterm depends on. I say "so-called" because this is *not* the terminal I get when following the menu debian->Programs->Applications->Terminal Emulators->xterm, which does not respond to control-plus. I suspect the terminal I get from the icon may be the same as the one I get by following debian->Programs->Applications->Terminal Emulators->Gnome Terminal, which does honour control-plus and also won't start up before iceweasel. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
