This sounds like it has nothing to do with startxwin. I can't reproduce
this, but do any of the following help:
1) creating a ~/.startxwinrc containing just "xterm &"?
Same problem. No xterm.
2) changing that .startxwinrc to "run xterm"?
Pop-up: "Couldn't find xterm anywhere. I even looked in the PATH"
Same when I tried "run /usr/bin/xterm" (couldn't find /usr/bin/xterm
anywhere etc.)
3) setting LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 ?
No change.
4) installing the font-daewoo-misc, font-isas-misc, and font-jis-misc
packages?
Those fonts are already installed.
As I said, I have a desktop icon for starting an XTERM that works. It
only "doesn't work" when trying to start the xterm from ~/.startxwinrc,
or from the system tray.
