   Decided to switch to a bare bones server install with gnome-core   
   installed ... I was bored. Next, needed a desktop launcher   
   (to satisfy my laziness) so I could single click and have slrn   
   running. This is what I did:   
      
   1) made a script from what I found on the Net and modified to suit:   
      
   #!/bin/bash   
   xterm -title "slrn" -fn   
   "-*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" -geometry   
   109x45+0+0 -e slrn -h localhost   
      
   2) made the luncher to call the script.   
      
   O.K., so it works - with a caveat:   
      
   have two xterm running - the parent xterm and child for slrn which is   
   on top of the "parent".   
      
   Now here is the point of my post:   
   anyone know a way to have the launcher, and a single visible xterm   
   (with slrn) running instead of the hack I have?
