X Terminal Emulator isn't allowing me to type anything

Heh, I know this sounds kind of dumb, but when I launch the terminal, i am not greeted with any prompt of any type and am unable to type anything. This is on a semi-fresh Slackware 12.0 installation, running XFCE. A screenshot is available here. Thanks!

How do other terminals behave, can you fire up xterm or rxvt,
rather than xfce's own one?

Cheers,

xterm, konsole, and rxvt all work. I'm trying to change the preferred terminal to one of them, could someone point me towards a good tutorial on how to modify everything I'd want to modify in XFCE? I've never used this desktop manager before...

Edit: Actually, you know, I just tried out fluxbox and I think it's love at first site. Everything works just how I want it to work! So yeah, nevermind about that :P

Congratulations :}

Fluxbox has been my WM of choice for the last 4 years or so ;}
