I just installed X11 and saw the little applications tab with Xterm in it. I've tried to add other apps to it but they won't launch. Is there a system for getting this to work?

Unfortunately, the shell doesn't have the proper path set up. (I doesn't run your shell as a login shell. Set the path explicitly before running the command. I just source my .bash_profile before running the command. Since I'm using bash as my default shell, my commands look like this:


.~/bash_profile; command

Many programs will only need the full path specified to the program:

/sw/bin/command
