Bug Description
I'm running Linux Mint 18.0 'Sarah', Cinammon 64 bit.
I installed the mwm package with:
sudo apt-get install -y mwm
... and logged in to mwm.
Right-clicking on the desktop and choosing 'New window' had no effect. I expected a new terminal window to open.
The problem is caused by mwm expecting xterm to be installed. Installing xterm manually fixed the 'New window' option.
Looking at the dependencies of mwm:
$ apt-cache depends mwm
mwm
PreDepends: x11-common
Depends: menu
menu:i386
Depends: libc6
Depends: libx11-6
Depends: libxext6
Depends: libxm4
Depends: libxt6
Conflicts: <lesstif-bin>
Breaks: <motif-clients>
Replaces: <motif-clients>
... I can see that xterm is not listed.
