Here: $ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm - priority 20 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xterm.1x.gz /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm - priority 30 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/X11R6/man/man1/uxterm.1x.gz /usr/bin/Eterm - priority 10 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/Eterm.1.gz /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper - priority 20 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm. Bizarre: As said: I see "man uxterm" when I "man xterm" $ ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1098 Feb 18 10:46 /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 252380 Feb 18 10:54 /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm $ ls -l /usr/X11R6/man/man1/uxterm.1x.gz /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xterm.1x.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1022 Feb 18 10:51 /usr/X11R6/man/man1/uxterm.1x.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32310 Feb 18 10:50 /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xterm.1x.gz And when I man /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xterm.1x.gz I get the full "man xterm", 2745 lines long, something that's different from what I get when I "man uxterm" And here comes the funny part: :$ ls -l `which xterm` -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 252380 Feb 18 10:54 /usr/bin/X11/xterm So it looks as if I had 2 xterm executables here. No links, AFAIKS. It seems I upgraded/installed xterm on Feb 19: $ ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list | grep xterm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 846 Feb 19 18:39 xterm.list So my guess is something went wrong at the time of this install ... and maybe Gnome is getting confused with two xterm executables now ... not being sure on that ... I'll have a look at it. Thanks for taking care. Best Regards Wolfgang -- Profile, Links: http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer
