Hello,
I like to bind actions to menus (don't we all).
Many nice programs are terminal based so I like to invoke them with:
Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e <program-name>
or something similar.
When I invoke the following line from within an xterm things behave as
expected:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/rtin
... but when I use the action
Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/rtin
in my .fvwm2rc file, things no longer work. The action, which in my case is
bound to a menu, just pops up an xterm which then promptly disappears.
This is frustrating because stuff like:
Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/pine
works just fine.
How can I fix this problem, and where did I go wrong?
Thanks,
Neil
