i installed debian sid on userland app.
i have 2 terminals. xterm & uxterm. i have
installed openbox, jre, mc & palemoon.

i have 2 issues & both of are interrelated:

(1) when i start my vnc session, it
starts xterm terminal automatically.
which file should i edit to start uxterm?
(if uxterm is better than xterm?)

(2) how should i enable copy or paste?
right clicking mouse of highlighted text
(highlighting text using holding left
mouse button & dragging using pointer
highlighter) does not work. ctrl+v or
ctrl+shft+v does not work for pasting.

how do i resolve both issues?

regards,
jindam, vani
