Windowmaker has numerous menu entries for xterm, but xterm isn't a require for the wmaker rpm. So, installing windowmaker, you'll see lots of places where you can start an xterm, and these all fail unless you then go and install the xterm rpm as well. Two solutions: remove the references to xterm, or set xterm as a required dependency for wmaker.

Hi! Do you use default-windowmaker-desktop or mageia-windowmaker-desktop?
I used mageia-windowmaker-desktop.
Also happens with default-windowmaker-desktop. Rather than adding xterm dependency removing references would be a better fix (or change it to xvt but that also fails for urxvt at least in mga2).

And urxvt is missed over there: http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/desktop-common-data/trunk/bin/xvt?view=markup Are there any additional terminals to add besides urxvt?
I think I file a separate bug for xvt (if not already there) to keep this organised.
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
