Please be more specific about 'nothing'. Does nano just close immediately with no error message? Does it hang forever until
you hit ^C, or what?

What do you see if you type 'which nano'?  What about 'echo
$PATH'?

which nano gives me: /usr/bin/nano

I can run nano from command line but when type nano + file name in
"Run Program" it should open that file but it doesn't, no windows
pops up.


Since I haven't installed XFCE it's a bit of guesswork: have you tried
"xterm nano"?
That works for me (I'm using gnome, though). You could also try to run
a program with a gui (like firefox).
I don't think that it ever worked for me to enter a shell command and
actually see the result in a window.

No, "xterm nano" doesn't work either.
