this installed beautifully on my Puppy 3.0 system, and I really like it.

But ... Every time it starts I get 5 rxvt windows open (I guess as a result of checking the "save session for future logins" when I first shutdown with 5 open)

How do I stop it remembering the last desktop config? I close all rxvt sessions and ensure the "save" box is unchecked but it makes no difference

Am I the only one having freememapplet start up on each reboot? I'm sure it could be fixed by commenting out something in jwmrc-tray, but why would any jwm stuff startup?

PS: Doesn't xfce come with more icon themes? NOP seems to have more.

I don't know if this bug is in this package but is in NOPalpha

create a file make a link to it then delete the original file now when you open the directory with the link thunar crashes....

@cb88 - I could not reproduce this error, must be an NOP problem (my own tests just showed the icon for a dead link)

@floborg - I do not have freememapplet running with my install, will try to look further into it. As for other icons themes, these can be added to /root/.icons and selected from the "User Interface Settings". I was reluctant to add extras as everyone likes something different.

Just tried XFCE sfs method.
Looks nice.
Added also the OOo sfs, but there no entries in the menu nor on the desktop.
Not foreseen in this OOo sfs?

Also I like the system tray vertically in the upper left side.
When doing so, it overlaps the top tray.
Can this be corrected?

Beem,

I use my own OpenOffice 2.3.0 (similar to Barry's, just updated). You may need to usr "Update XFCE menu" in the System area of the menu. (You might also need to Logoff and restart XFCE).

Note: The package only produces icons on the JWM desktop. The easiest way I have found to add icons in XFCE is to go to /usr/share/applications, and drag the wanted ones to the desktop.

Thank you for your advice for OOo.
Update XFCE menus did the trick.

What about the overlapping when the system tray is in the upper left corner?

Beem,

I hate to sound dense, but I don't quite understand about the system tray. Would you be able to show a screenshot?

How do I get previously installed .pets to appear in the right-click menus?
For instance, I installed slapt-get/gslapt before installing this xfce. Running jwm it appears in "setup", but under xfce there's no menu-entry.

I was in the other OS (ahum) when posting and the picture wasn't available.
Here goes:

It looks like Panel 1 is less than 100% - if you do the same for Panel 2 (along the top) i.e. make it less than 100% and select placement in the middle top wouldn't this work to keep them from overlapping? Alternately you could select a right side vertical placement for Panel 2 - that would be really different! Wink

I don't know how it would show program names in that case and you'd have to change your Conky placement as well...

Thank you.
I looked in the panel mgr again and I understand the idea now.

I did put the panel with the open applications on the bottom now and the panel with the start and other applets vertically on the top right (as in the picture)

In this way there is no overlapping.

Have just to get used at another Windows system.

Another issue:

I had Opera 9.23 installed (official pet) prior to loading this sfs. Now, whenever I start Opera, it is immediately killed just prior to launching the GUI. I have to wait for it to go through the lengthy startup sequence (I have a large cache and a few urlfilters), see it die before the GUI starts, and then quickly launch it again. If I wait too long, it will die again.
