lxterminal stopped working. (Solved)

[Howard]

Just installing LXDE on my iBuddy - an old laptop with 512 MB max.   I seemed to install OK and I began to familiarise myself with LXDE, (only used KDE before)  and configure the installation to my liking.  And I've added Thunderbird.

But the lxterminal has just stopped responding, nothing happens when I click the icon in the taskbar or select it in the menu.  I tried reinstalling, and removing and installing - no dice.

The one thing I did which may have caused this was to "see what happens" when I press F4 (cf KDE4).  I got an error message about the terminal not being registered or something (I forget exactly what  it said.).  Since then no terminal.

Help!

See if you can run "lxterminal" from the Run command, or start Xterm and run it from there to see if you get errors.

Solved it!  

Opened another user account, Guest, LXterminal OK.  Therefore some setting in my own configuration files.  
Found .config>lxterminal>lxterminal.conf - permissions>user/group= "root"??  Looked at same file in Guest, user/group=guest.
Used superuser file manager to change user/group to howard.  AOK!

How did I do that?? (Change the user/group to root I mean.)

Thanks Rudge we posted simultaneously.  I don't think it would have run as I didn't have the right permissions, but I'm not going to repeat it to find out!
