Hello Linuxers!
I've got a problem I did not have till now:
When I start certain programs (eg xterm or xtetris) via twm-menu (the one you
get when you press one of the mousebuttons on rootwindow) get closed
immediatly....I hear my HD, so they get loaded. Maybe I erased some vital
file *shrug*. Can you help me? I post my ps -aux below, maybe you see more than
I do...
