@Sc0ttman:
I _think_ I found the actual bug, it was /usr/bin/rwc-config:
Code:
exec /usr/local/RWC/rwc-config &

I've no idea why did I put & there, but for 90% it was the cause; most likely /usr/bin/rwc-config process was dying too slow. Interesting that it wasn't happend in Slacko..?
But thanks again, it was definitely RWC bug.
I hope it'll be ok now.

This one seems to work fine, excellent, thanks. Smile

Most likely you have it already (0.8.0), unless you're using some older Puppy at present.
Open terminal window and type:
Code:
gtkdialog4 --version

to be sure.

The latest Gtkdialog-0.8.2 you can compile yourself (here's the appropriate thread) or search for a .pet.
IIRC, I've seen Oldyeller's, RSH's (for Lupu) and 01micko's (for Slacko) packages somewhere in the forum.

Greetings!

On which Puppy you have installed it?
I've noticed that it happens in the latest Precise-5.4.1.
Try this:
1. Open terminal, type: fixmenus and wait until it finish.
2. Then go to Desktop -> JWM configuration and press "Restart JWM now?" button.

Should help...

Greetings!

That worked. I can now launch it and it appears in the Desktop menu. I still have the GTKdialog error though even though I installed GTKdialog 0.8.2. Is there something else I need to do? Do I have to restart my machine?

Great! Smile

However since there's a lot of 'gtkdialog' binaries these days: gtkdialog4, gtkdialog5 and gtkdialog that can be a symlink to gtkdialog4 or gtkdialog5 Laughing - I changed the code a bit to try to handle this.

Additionally I fixed (hopefully) "Only one instance allowed" problem, which popped up again, this time in Lupu.

BTW, which "subversion" of Lupu you have, that there's no Gtkdialog-0.8.0 OOTB?
IIRC since Lupu-528-002 (or 004?) Playdayz had included it into.

The latest Lupu is 528-005-1:

Hello,
I am running Puppy-528.005 from Live CD on a ZaReason Big Lap.
Pupsave file is on HDD.

Dependencies check ok.
Nothing happenings when I initiate Random Wallpaper Changer from Menu/Desktop.
Any clues? Thank you.

Hey Sky Aisling

Could you launch it from terminal window by:
Code:
rwc-config

and post the results?

Also:
Code:
gtkdialog --version
gtkdialog4 --version

would be helpful...

Greetings!

Thanks, as I thought - the lack of Gtkdialog-0.8.0 is the problem, but how's that possible..?
Rmcellig had the same kind of problem above.
Before Slacko I used to use Lupuplus-528.005-1 - Gtkdialog-0.8.0 present.
Just a while ago to ensure myself I downloaded Lupu-528.005 (from here) and Gtkdialog-0.8.0 also is present there...
I feel kinda weird... Confused Laughing

I can't find 0.8.0 package for Lupu anywhere, but hopefully this should work:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81928

EDIT:
Taking the opportunity, I uploaded v1.6.6 with added support for Compiz in latest Slacko-5.4 (xwin dummy1 & xwin dummy2).
Attached next to v1.6.5 few posts above.

Greetings!
