Not sure what these are, but might turn out to be valuable in the future. > I'm not sure what you mean about opening a terminal.

Ctrl+Alt+F1) and issuing command $ DISPLAY=:0.0 x-terminal-emulator You should now see a terminal when you switch back to X using Ctrl+Alt+F7. Please also try using $ DISPLAY=:0.0 \ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/scrotwm/libswmhack.so.0.0 x-terminal-emulator (wrapped for better readability) and report back if you can see any difference. Can you spawn applications other than the terminal using Alt+p to summon dmenu? And from a VT? Sorry to annoy you with so many questions, but I need some data before I can try to figure out what's not working. -- Andrea Bolognani <e...@kiyuko.org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
