 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.

More information than doesn't work either please.  For example:

Does xterm alone (or whatever terminal you use) start?
Does nano start in tty?
Does your Xsession error log record anything when 'xterm nano doesn't
work'?

No, xterm nano doesn't work but !nano does.
