Afternoon all.
I have just discovered a problem with my X menus. It seems that any
program that requires an xterm, won't run. I searched the archives
but could not find any other reference to this.
A search on google anly brought up something called
'sensisable-xtermumu' which seems to deal with different locales but
doesn't seem like what I am seeing. The BTS was also of no help.
I 'thought' the old /usr/lib/menu system used something like 'needs
xterm' but that seems to have changed. I see no references to that in
any of the files that require xterm. Instead I see
'x-terminal-emulator' called out in the makers menus, but it doesn't
bring up the programs (mutt, telnet, mc, iptraf, etc).
I can, from an xterm, execute /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
and it does bring up an xterm (uxterm) but clicking on the menu does not.
The above is the same is wmaker, fluxbox and afterstep.
I have been running testing/unstable for quite a while now but as I
don't use X very often, have not noticed this before.
Would anyone care to point me to a fix for this. Its not a big
deal, just a PITA.
TIA
Wayne
