Your advice worked here. Tks. > As you mentioned, another way would be to launch the application > without an > xterm. How exactly are you launching the application? An xterm is not > required to run X programs such as firefox. I haven't figured out how to do it. Firefox needs X-window. If after login, run $ startx | firefox. It won't work, only Xterm started finally. Have any suggestion? TIA. Furthermore about the icons on screen, would it be possible to align them on bottom/top/either side of the screen, not manually, rather than let them floating around there?
