    can't open terminal

    Hi, just managed to install zenwalk on an old freebie sony p3 laptop last night (thanks to some really helpful folk on these forums) and am feeling rather chuffed but i'm still having a few teething probs.

    The main one is that when i try to open terminal it just chucks me back to the login screen.

    Unfortunately the zenwalk forums are closed to new users so no help there! I wondered if anyone on these forums has had a similar problem?
