You should be able to right click the dock icon, select applications then select Terminal.

Just tried this and an amazing thing happened. Clicking on another Dock object, Firefox, for example, is ignored. The current space remains where the selected X app is running (Xterm in my case).

So I pushed ctrl + 1 which should take me to space #1 and nothing. Pushing ctrl + 2 got me to space #2 and then I could get from there to #1. Thinking it's a quirk, I tried it again and got the same result.

- From space #1, right click X icon on Dock, choose an instance of Xterm.
- I'm now in space #4 where the selected Xterm is.
- Try clicking Firefox or any other running app on the dock: Nothing happens with spaces, but the control bar at the top of the screen indicates the selected app is now active. I just can't see it.
- Try using ctrl + space #: Cannot return to orignal space but can go to any other space.
- Once any space but the original is visited, normal operation resumes.

And finally, this only happens when I begin in space #1. I tried the same steps from space #3 and the problem did not appear.

Darn strange, this one.
