Reduce version: 4765 and the previous ones i tried.
Description: If I try to run REDCSL from window manager menu (run command option) or create a desktop icon for it, it does not start, only if I set it to run in terminal.
Are the versions you have tried ones where you downloaded binaries from the sourceforge release area and installed them, or are they ones you built yourself from source? Can I confirm that you are on Windows - and if so is it Windows 10 (and so 64 bit)? Do you see anything at all when you try double clicking on an icon? When you create a desktop icon what file do you make it refer to? Reduce seems to work OK for me, so I fear I need more detyailed information about your setup to know how to advise you! Arthur

Sorry, I completely forgot that there's Windows. I am using binary .deb packages downloaded from sourceforge, on Kubuntu Linux 18.04 (Ubuntu Linux with the K Desktop Environment), 64 bit. The desktop icon points to /usr/bin/redcsl, and if I click it, nothing happens. If I tick "Run in terminal" under advanced options, then 2 windows are opened, Reduce and a terminal, and it works.

I got the same result with /usr/lib/reduce/cslbuild/reduce. I also ubgraded to the Nov 23 build, and still the same result.
Actually, what I have just noticed is that reduce is there, sleeping in the background in these cases, just does not open a window.

Could you please try to use the CSL Reduce executable instead of /usr/bin/redcsl:
/usr/lib/reduce/cslbuild/csl/reduce
in order to find out whether the problem comes from the /usr/bin/redcsl script, or the executable itself?

I think I have an idea what is happening. I'll check.

Please try to run the command
/usr/bin/redcsl -w+
when you click on the desktop icon. The -w+ forces GUI mode.

Yes, this works. Thank you.
