Hi,
just upgraded from woody to sarge. Previously, I did not yet have XFCE
on this machine so the configuration is pretty OOTB.
When I click on the icon for the terminal in the XFCE panel it appears
as if the computer is trying to start the application but in the end
nothing really happens. I thought that maybe there is some issue with
the path environment and that the executable cannot be found. So I
looked up the location with 'which xfterm4' and changed the properties
for the panel entry to /usr/bin/xfterm4. This did not change anything.
Currently I am without shell access under XFCE.
Best

The fact you didn't have a working x-terminal-emulator isn't xfce4's
problem.
I'm closing this bug given you've not reassigned it elsewhere.
Thanks,
