Hi,
When I open a new xterm window using the XWin Server icon in the system tray:
> (right click on icon)->Applications->xterm
it opens xterm, but the command prompt is not formatted correctly and
the window title is 'xterm' instaed of the current directory.
The command prompt looks like:
> bash-3.2$
and should be
> craig@laptop ~
> $
How do I configure the XWin Server so that it opens xterm correctly?
Also, is there a way I can add a shortcut on my desktop to open a new
terminal window without having to type 'xterm' in the existing
terminal window or the system tray icon?
Thanks,
Craig
