evince, zathura and mtpaint are all running correctly in my tests....
Can you run them all in a terminal and pm me any diagnostic messages produced?
Thanks
Done! I have downloaded 14.08.01 and verified the md5, and saved the new install to a folder. Now my system behaves like yours; evince, zathura and mtpaint all run correctly, LXTerminal does not start. Also (very minor point) the Simple Network Setup tool fails to load my RT61 network card driver on second and subsequent boots but Network Wizard does it correctly. (SNS works fine on other puppies.) By the way I did not install the 'mime settings' PET on 14.08.01 - no need, it seems. I have not sent a PM - no diagnostic messages.
I like these LXpups very much, many thanks.
