[X-Newbies] Appleworks not responding

[J]

Sounds like the weird icon means the app just lost its association.  
In X, when you trash certain prefs, you must reassociate all your  
applications otherwise you get a weird old fashioned icon.

I would reinstall Appleworks is all and make sure the .app is not  
removed from after it.
