That's rather heavy-handed. You don't have to kill the X server to get a new xterm. There are two separate entities here: the X server (whose visible presence is the tray icon) and the xterm client with its visible window. The X server startup just has this convenience feature that allows you to have a terminal window right away. On my machine I've disabled this; the X server is started at logon and I launch terminal windows when I need them, from desktop shortcuts. Check the right-click menu of the X server: there should be a sub-menu called "Applications", which should contain a menu item to launch an xterm. This would remove the need to stop and relaunch the X server. --=20 GCS a+ e++ d- C++ ULS$ L+$ !E- W++ P+++$ L w++$ tv+ b++ DI D++ 5++ Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts. "Ok, it boots.
