Hi,
I messed up my icons

Now I can't start xterm anymore. What's the start comand for xterm which must be placed into the xterm.lnk?
Is it rxvt or bash or /usr/bin/bash or /usr/bin/xterm or ...

I tried "find" and edited the xterm.lnk often but overall unfortunately I haven't got it to work yet.

I would be grateful for any ideas

xterm and rxvt are both links to aterm, so any of those three commands will work.

It could simply be "aterm", or it could be more specific with "aterm -e /bin/bash". The second one is really only necessary if you happen to change your $SHELL variable, or want to open aterm with a different shell than bash.

If the file you edited was not in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop, then you are probably editing the wrong file.

I think it was the correct file. I also tested the comand which is entered for xterm in ~fluxbox/menu. I' ll try another time.

I overwrote the original file (and the icon) with an older backup file (and also with an older version icon). (Why did I do that GRRRR!)
I checked the permissions afterwards.
