Like the subject title says, I'm trying to add a nice little button
to open up BitchX from wharf in Afterstep. I've modified
/usr/share/afterstep/wharf and added a line which sucessfully puts the new
icon on wharf. The problem I've got is that it doesn't appear to work quiet
right.. let me explain....
BitchX is a terminal app so obviously it needs to be ran from a
terminal.. I've chosen to use rxvt to run BitchX so the line in my wharf
file looks something like (this is from memory so plz don't shout if i get
it a bit wrong)
" *wharf BitchX bitchx.xpm Exex "-" rxvt -fn vga11x9 -fg white -bg
black -e BitchX "
When i click on the button, the only thing that happens is that it
opens up a rxvt term with my chosen font, background and foreground
colors.. I've tried running other applications with the " -e " switch and
although it works fine typing "rxvt -fn vga11x9 -fg white -bg black -e <app
name>" in a already open term (it opens up a new term and runs the prog) it
refuses to work when I try it via wharf :\
anyone got any ideas?
thanks in advance
