proof of glitch for me

possible fix, try at own risk but its a read only file. No need to make it executable. Special thanks to Bela Markus from Tinycore for the fix.

Code: [Select]
sudo su
cat >> /usr/bin/lxterminal-xterm <<'EOF'
#!/sbin/busybox sh

a=0
c=""

for v in $*
do
  if [ $a == 0 ]
  then
    if [ "$v" == "-g" ]
    then
      a=1
      c="--geometry="
    elif [ "$v" == "-e" ]
    then
      a=2
      c=$c$v" "
    fi
  elif [ $a == 1 ]
  then
    a=0
    c=$c$v" "
  elif [ $a == 2 ]
  then
    c=$c$v" "
  fi
done

lxterminal $c
EOF

chmod 444 /usr/bin/lxterminal-xterm

Pathway of Tinycore differs from NutyX so adjusted. Hope it helps
