<title>When An Application Will Not Open</title>

<para>Sometimes when you start an application, it does not open the expected
window.  Here are some questions to answer and steps to help you figure out
what is wrong.</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Did the application ever start, when launched in the same
manner?</term>
<listitem><para>If it did, for instance you have clicked an icon on your
desktop that previously worked, then it is unlikely to be a problem with the
launcher itself.</para>
<para>If, however, you normally start your application from an icon on
&kicker; and this time started it with a desktop icon, then it could simply
be that the launcher itself is wrong.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>But I can see the launch notification spinning cursor and taskbar entry.
