Thanks for any advices! > > Can you tell me how you've started geda? I have started geda from an icon, because my window manager is Window Maker. Now, I have recompiled again geda (have edited the tool.c with $EDITOR). It works for me to, if I start geda from the same shell window where I exported $EDITOR=mcedit, but if I exported $EDITOR=xedit after, then it opens still mcedit. Why? Now I edit the .bash_profile with this: export $EDITOR=xedit relogin in the X Window, but still remain the same.
