Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio.conf file

[Barry Duggan]

Michael,

Thank you for that. Apparently it did find a default "xterm".

So I have two suggestions related to this:
1) Don't show the error message unless it can't find a default.
2) Continue to show the error message until it has an xterm to use. 
Currently it shows the error message only once.

Best regards,
