Have you looked for the xwin-xdg-icon in your hidden icons? It's a
black C superimposed over a green X.

The icon stays up in the hidden icons. but seems to have little use.
Don't you get a menu when you click on it?
That menu has the option to shut down xserver or view documentation but
not to open an xterm.
I don't think we're talking about the same icon. The one I referred
to is a black C superimposed over a green X, and it has many options
to start programs, including XTerm (under System Tools). It's started
by the xwin-xdg-icon program, which in turn is started by
/etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc (unless you have a ~/.startxwinrc that
overrides it). Does 'ps' show that xwin-xdg-icon is running?
