However if I pass any parameters to xterm, such as -g 150x40 -e mc then the mouse stops working and I get keycodes on the mc command line. I should note that I get into /usr/bin by running this small script. cd ~ xterm -g 153x40+150+20 -fn 10x20 I do this because I run rox-filer to put icons on the desktop with Icewm. Since this problem started, I have changed running xterm to running lxterm (for a unicode env) and the problem has disappeared. The problem has been resolved but I don't understand what is happening or why. Frank _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
