Description of problem: The xfce-utils RPM should require the installation of xterm so that /usr/bin/xfterm4 can run with its default settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce-utils-4.0.6-1 xterm-192-1 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. $TERMCMD not exported 2. if xterm is installed run: rpm -e xterm 3. yum install xfce-utils 4. /usr/bin/xfterm4 Actual results: /usr/bin/xfterm4: line 76: exec: xterm: not found Expected results: Opening of an X terminal in Xfce Additional info: This can present a problem if the user is only familiar with the GUI and does not see any error messages produced when clicking the 'terminal' icon on the Xfce Panel. Solutions: 1. The /usr/bin/xfterm4 script can be edited (line 6, TERMCMD=xterm) OR 2. The user's $TERMCMD shell environment variable can be set to reflect an installed terminal application. OR 3. yum install xterm
i have extended the xfterm4 so that it does not require xterm. The shell script will look for all available xterm, konsole or gnome-console. It's fixed in 4.0.6-3
Thank you.
