Package: xinit Version: 1.1.1-1 When I invoke 'startx -e xcalc' it should start X, xterm and xcalc but it gives an error saying xterm: bad command line option "xterm" and this happens because in line 26 of the startx script is: 'defaultclient=xterm' and should be : 'defaultclient=xterm $1' I am using Debian GNU/Linux 5.0, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Make it easier for your friends to see what you’re up to on Facebook. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_2:092009
