How do i Get a desktop icon set-up on my LXDE<br /> desktop that will start a terminal window of my <br />choice, and then execute a command to "launch" a<br />terminal-based program that i have in my home<br />directory.<br /><br />2. How do I get some of the appications that run on<br />my lxde system to have good old scroll-bars the full<br />height of the window and not those nasty "pop-up" <br />scroll-bars? (Firefox does it right, but the bash terminal program does it wrong.)<br /><br />Thanks, knott@civilized.com<br /> <br /> garyknotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931536559918811011noreply@blogger.com
