Cmap tools

[Bert Freudenberg]

Click to bring up a menu and open a terminal.

Alternatively, edit the ".xinitrc" file to auto-launch any X  
applications you want started ("xterm &" is a common choice) before  
executing the window manager. This is also how you would bundle and  
launch a regular X app like cmap.
