Just checked....that line is there in the Chrome 20 pet.
Reinstalled 19 .... working fine. Everybody is leaving the older hardware behind I guess.

It is working OK for me, but they could have changed something that caused a problem with the older hardware????
Were you using Lucid? I would pretty definitely not work in Slacko--I have to make another pet for that.

What!? Did you use my pet? Look at the /usr/bin/google-chrome in the Lucid Chrome pet to see how to avoid the won't run as root message (you have to specify the datadir).

nooby.
Please do not take this wrong. Good clean joking around.
We all know. If we can get it working for nooby.
We have accomplished something!   
Where did you get Grandr?
I see by your posted image you are using the vesa driver.
May be able to get better results if you can use a manufactures driver specific to your graphics hardware.
What does Quickpet->drivers tab->click here to test your graphics card
recommend?

bigpup, my kudos to you for being so friendly and patient.
You actually got it right. I thought it where not so polite of me
to not even test your suggestion. The reason I didn't want to
are due to me want to use Grandr to shut down the internal
screen on the netbook and only look at the External screen
And activating Xorgwizard destroy that.
After reading your friendly response above I gave it a shot
and you are absolutely right about X, it restored the Tray
so now it does load tray each time but instead I lost the
closing down of the internal screen. But maybe that is always
something one have to do manually? Or is it the Auto thing
in Grandr that compete with Xorg and that way makes tray
to disappear? I know too little.
Seems it does not want to do it unless I manually do it each time.
Haha which take more time and actions than to restart the xorg. Hehe.
Anyway good that tray works now. So much appreciated that you cared.

nooby,
I gave you a suggestion to use Xorgwizard, because that is what normally works with Puppy. You seem to have a much better understanding of how your system works than I do. So stick with what works for you.
I assume the problem is with an external 14.7" monitor.
The 14.7" monitors native resolution is what?
Are there any setting buttons on this monitor?
Ones that will allow monitor adjustments internally?
Most monitors have these.
Mine has an auto adjust button that cures most problems by just pressing it.

Is that a wild guess or something you have tested? I mean
when I look at Grandr that also change resolution I do have the right one.
Why would Xorgwizard get the tray in order. How are they related
and that Grandr would not get it back? I lose it each time I boot now.
The reason I don't want to use xorgwizard is that it usually set the wrong
resolution due to internal being 1024 x 600 so it set the external to such
and then it is almost impossible to get 1024 x 768 back while Grandr
always get the 1024 x 768 So I will only use Xorgwizard if you really
know it is the only way to get tray to always be there.
It does come up two times but it get lost when it redraws the third time.
Look at personal set up here. Looks right to me so why should
I use xorgwizard when it is already right?
What I need is to get Tray to load reliably. How can Xorg do that with
changing resolution?

Use Xorgwizard to change resolution.

I may have written on this one before and then forgot about it???
I changed from a 19" 16:9 external display to a 14.7" 4:3
and I had to use Grandr to set the resolution again and since then
three days in a row I loose the tray and have to restart X to get it back.
No big deal but annoying. it does not happen everytime I reboot
but almost every time I start in the morning. So maybe some timing
that needs to change delay of redrawing when it redraw it seems
to fail to find the tray so would need a delay for to have time enough
to establish it and then redraw??? Any suggestion?

Google Chrome 20 for Lucid
http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/Google_Chrome-20-Lucid.pet
This has Flashplayer 11.3 built-in so no need for separate Flashplayer. The info I saw earlier said that Adobe will not update Flashplayer for Linux beyond 11.2 *except* if the browser "partners" with Adobe, which Google evidently is or does. The Flashplayer for Linux available on the Adobe site does say 11.2. If you have another Flashplayer installed, the Google site says that Chrome will use the built-in version preferentially.
As discussed in this message this Google Chrome pet disables some of Chrome's propensity to "phone home" (which raises privacy concerns for some people). http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=630570#630570
