[Fluxbox-users] xterms do not apper even if they are executed in .fluxbox/startup

[Massimo Canonico]

Hi,
I did not change my .fluxbox/startup file since one years ago, but in
the last 3 days my fedora 10 wont' execute xterm commands.

The funny thing is that I can see conky, gnome-power-manager even if
they are executed after the 4 xterms that I used:

/usr/bin/xterm -geometry +0+0 &
/usr/bin/xterm -geometry +719+10 &
/usr/bin/xterm -geometry +0+410 &
/usr/bin/xterm -geometry +719+410 &
/usr/bin/conky &
/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager &

Once the fluxbox is up and running if I execute "/usr/bin/xterm
-geometry +0+0 &" I can see the terminal.

My startup file is attached. Do you have any idea?

Thanks,
M

The obvious question is: can you open xterm through some other way?
That is, suppose that you opened some other terminal, and type xterm.
Does xterm open? If it doesn't, then the problem is with xterm and not
fluxbox.

Best,
Antonio
