Same problem.  No 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.)

No change.

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.
