Anyone watching this thread anymore?
Anyway I compiled icewm 1.3.6 on dpup, seems good so far and renders almost all themes perfectly, I've tested quite number of them, the only problems were 18k-metal and 4dwm from icepak.pet (don't use, will crash X!).
ttuuxxx's themes display nice and also tested some new windowish themes from box-look.

Install pet then exit X, type xwin icewm-session to run it.
Here's the pet: icewm-1.3.6-i486-dpup.pet 618 KB

I'm still watching the thread as well - whenever I receive the forum updates that is. However, I'm no longer running Dpup but Dejan's KDpup, which is a puplet based upon the last-issued Dpup with a beautifully-working KDE-3.5.10 desktop added. ( For further info see Dejan's signature link above. )

As to software for Dpup though? Before I'd removed Dpup and now that I have KDpup, I've since installed so much software straight from Lenny via Synaptic into the hard drive install - and it all has worked flawlessly at that - I couldn't even begin to make a list of everything which has worked for this thread! I really should have kept notes like other projects I've worked upon... With Puppy I'm playing around, enjoying my life, and computer!

About all I can say is, if you've got Dpup/KDpup, find software you want ( either through PPM or install gposil's Synaptic if you have the space for it ) and go for the gusto! LOL!

Amicalement!/Cheers!

Hi Dejan!!

Just wanted to give you a 'heads up' on the XFCE-4.6.2 that you've made for the Dpup puplet.

Two words easily sums it up:

Totally AWESOME!!

I've installed it into your 1st version release of KDpup and have been playing around with it for approximately an hour now - really having a BLAST here my friend! Oh, and the "icon problem" you've mentioned? Not a problem at all IF you happen to have a fully-complete and functional gtk icon theme ( as in "an icon theme which will work for gnome/LXDE or other gtk-compliant desktop ), of which I happen to have many by the way.

Myself, at the moment I prefer the "Oxygen for Gnome". When used in conjunction with "Oxygen for KDE3" in KDpup you easily cover nearly every aspect of Puppy in this manner by about 99.5% ( if I'd get off being lazy and make a theme for XFE I'd likely cover that .5% ).

At any rate Dejan, please keep up the fabulous job that you're doing, okie? Having all these desktops and window managers at my fingertips in KDpup ( 7 or 8 now I think? ) there's never a dull moment - that's for sure!

Cheers!/Amicalement!

Howdy Once Again Dejan!

For a further "FYI" here I thought that I'd let you know that - except for the dependencies of libXRes.so/libXRes.so.1.0.0 needed by xfdesktop - you're Xfce4 Desktop .pet above works magnificently in the newly-released LucidPup-5.1 as well.

I thought that you might want to know this Dejan, as not all that long ago I'd attempted such an install of Xfce via the PPM in LucidPup - which went surprisingly well at that - but the lack of LibXKB-xfce I believe it was ( PPM was unable to track it down, nor was I able to find it via Synaptic ) killed all use of my keyboard at the time. So I thought it'd be nice to let others know, including you, that your .pet works in LucidPup as well!

Once again my Puppian Friend: I really do appreciate your hard work to give us the VERY BEST operating system AND PUPLET ( okie! IMHO anyway! lol ) available today! Please keep up the great work Dejan - you've got one very impressed fan here!

Cheers!/Amicalement!
