It isn't clear if my wm is sawfish or metacity, but one thing is certain: I have no gnome-panel! Just a background and I can middle-click for a menu :( Is there a way to run binaries from within an xterm? The DISPLAY variable becomes a problem, because I don't want the X/GUI app to run within the terminal of course. I thought `exec gaim` for example would be similar to Start > Run... to run a binary within the x session, no? Also, `top` shows me that gnome-panel IS running, so why don't I see it? Hopelessly lost, thanks for any guidance! -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
