Thanks both of you!  But is there any way to use c::b without xterm, only using the standard Linux terminal. I'm not that familiar with xterm, but from what I understand it's just a terminal isn't it?

Yes, but, you have to change the setting in CB to use that terminal.
Note: That means you need to know what parameters to use in the CB Settings.

NOTE: I am not sure there really is a standard Linux terminal; each Linux distro seems to have a different terminal as default.

I tend to change mine to

--- Code: ---mate-terminal -t $TITLE -x

--- End code ---
But, I use a Debian [distro] with the Mate Desktop

PinkWolfFenrir:
Yeah I misexpressed myself when I said standard Linux terminal, basically what I meant was the terminal the OS came pre-installed with. I didn't know what terminal that actually is because the "label" (file name) just says "Terminal". I checked and it's the gnome terminal. I now selected it in Settings and it works fine, again thank you so much for the help.

oBFusCATed:
It seems there is x-terminal-emulator that is a wrapper for the terminal. I'll research if it is possible to use this thing as a default, because this is a common and recurring problem...
