Black desktop?

Friends,
my Wary 5.3 installation is getting crazy: the desktop becomes all black (no icons, no wallpaper). Why is that? Is is Xorg?? Should I save a session when it's all visible? Otherwise I have to click here and there to make it all come back :-/

Re: Which version?

2.14X is a highly updated puppy version with an older kernel, Xorg, the kernel is half the size of Wary, I've been using 2.14X on a daily bases since I start this project 3.5yrs ago, If it works fine on your pc, I wouldn't use any other OS. :) I use it for my Multimedia Pc and play all my movies on...

I did it!

I did it, my friend. I have a 500+ MB swap space at the begging of the HD. I tested Puppy before installation, and I have used and tested other Puppies (Wary and previous versions).
