$ dlocate exo-open
xfce4-terminal: /usr/share/Terminal/apps/exo-open-browser.desktop
xfce4-terminal: /usr/share/Terminal/apps/exo-open-mailer.desktop
libexo-0.3-0: /usr/share/man/man1/exo-open.1.gz
libexo-0.3-0: /usr/bin/exo-open

Do you have libexo-0.3-0 installed? "exo-open" appears to be the xfce4
version of "gnome-open" - for example,

exo-open http://google.com

opens the URL in your browser.

I can't see why a terminal app should complain about it not being there
... but perhaps xfterm4 requires its library?

so installed
but this time nothing happens if i do
xfterm4
in xterm
but ps tells me
that numbers of exo-helper get increased everytime i try to launch xfterm4

btw

are you using xfterm4
to make the terminal mixed into the wallpaper?

I know it doesn't help, but it Works For Me (tm)
On the other hand, the machine I tried it on also has xubuntu-desktop installed ( and
fluxbox, and KDE, and GNOME .... :-) This is my toy machine ( iBook G4 running 7.04/Feisty)

No, I mainly use urxvt from the rxvt-unicode package, with appropriate options to give
transparency, and Super+t configured to toggle borders in ~/.fluxbox/keys

ah excuse me about that
i have to find a good solution
am usualy doing mail on browsers on several machinesn at several locations
but sometimes pop it to mutt@OSX and read(& cat >> xxx.txt) them offline
and clean my room @ gmail
maybe using "archive" of gmail sould work
if i have some mails that i should reply(handle always online) later
which souldn't get downloaded to local?
yeah this is troublemaking
cuz now with this thread .. iwanna ask about something more than xfterm4 :-(

my fluxbox become somewhat like this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/pantaloon_thangs/2047585591/

some things are still in my mind

1) Xterm is okay if i could make the charactors all bright-yellow
whatever meaning they have
2) it would be lovely if launching an app makes it borderless as
default and have them return only when i have to super-t to see them
3) on fluxbox i'd go 1 workspace per 1 app so Xterm at startup should
be for all workspace
4) now's the time to clean up my right click menu ... i'd rather lauch
everything from the terminal ... maybe aliases@.bash_profile shuld do
this for me .. and then right click would only be for launching a
terminal when i happened to ctl-d it?

still a lot to learn
any suggestion is welcome ... plz

made my gnome like this:

i think my gnome environment is almost ready to go do the real dsp-coding things
i still didn't test if this gnome-terminal tric with devilspie works for fluxbox

btw
