Tell us what you are clicking on. Most 'icons' have properties that you can inspect. Use right mouse --> properties and tell us what you see. Also can you run 'xterm'?

Can you add a new user test that new user? -- T o m M i t c h e l l May your cup runneth over with goodness and mercy and may your buffers never overflow.
