Re: [orca-list] What's Wrong with Gnome-Terminal?

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi Steve.

I beleive that you can try the following:

Create a file with the following content:


#!/bin/sh
gnome-terminal 1>output.1 2>output.2

Save the file and change the execution permission.

chmod +x filename


Now, in a gnome session press alt+f2 and type the complete path of the 
file that you save previously.
Press the return key.

I hope that this will create two files called output.1 and output.2 and 
probably in one of the files  we'll find the cause of the problem.
