Thus you may need to set up a script to generate random numbers and then call xterm -bg appropriately. This script can then be launched from the panel.

gnome shortcuts
Hey All, Silly little question here. I can swear I used to drag icons from the Gnome pager to the desktop to create a shortcut. I recently had to reinstall enlightenment (not gnome) but when I started X again, all my gnome stuff was gone. When I try to drag icons off the main gnome pager to the desktop, they don't stick. It is like a paper icon that flies back to the pager. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and suggest a way to get icons on the desktop. I also use multiple virtual desktops and sometimes the gnome pager will be on all of them and sometimes it will only pop up on my original desktop but not the other desktops. Anyone have a clue about that? Thanks so much, D. Ghost 'space ghost using debian'
Re: gnome shortcuts
you might try to start gnome desktop, forgot which program it is, I once started it accidentally... try gnome control center..., gnome panel or something liked that... erik Debian Ghost wrote: Hey All, Silly little question here.

I believe that it's the Gnome file manager (gmc) that does the desktop stuff. I'm not sure how to invoke it so that it draws on the desktop instead of opening a window, though. Hubert
