Re: terminal not opening, background not changing in vnc

[mailserver2000 <mai...@gm...>]

Terminal from the menu. I dont see where I have an

update-alternatives utility anywhere.

And I just saw the background reply. I am using icewem in vnc. 

icewmbg -r
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1.0".
icewmbg: using /home/bruce3/.icewm for private configuration files
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1.0".

Still no backrgorund change. Still have the small chainlink fence 
looking background.

Here is my .icewm files:

preferences
DesktopBackgroundColor = black
TaskBarAutoHide = 1



Thanks,
Bruce
