What is this tiny desktop window?
Can't figure out what this is after boot up. Right clicking give no clue but I am able to hide and exit it.

Ah i hate that thing and still wish I could figure out how to get rid of it, but its the blinky, clipboard, free memory applet, etc window that startups from /usr/share/icewm/startup during boot. It should just open the progs to the tray but the first boot it opens a window also. Restarting X will make it right, usually I just right click the window and hit "hide", but this will make the blinky, etc disappear from the tray. But again a refresh of X will fix it. It only happens in IceWM. IF anyone knows how to keep this window from opening please let us know!
Hi
you will see something similar to this:
Try increasing the sleep time (a bit of trial & error is required),
that usually sorts things out for me.

Code: Select all
killall blinky
sleep 5 && /root/my-applications/blinky-0.8-icewm/src/blinky -bg "#000000" &
killall freememapplet-tray
sleep 6 && /root/my-applications/freememapplet_tray_puppy215ce/freememapplet-tray &
that usually sorts things out for me.

Hello beaulanger
In the screenshot you provided in your initial post, it is impossible to tell exactly what that window is.
I am guessing that it is either blinky or the freememapplet,
take a look at the tray (the bar across the bottom or top of the screen) and see what is missing. (see example.png)
as i said in my original post
then Restart IceWM.
Please note:
These changes will only work if you are indeed using IceWM,
you can check what you are using by looking at the contents of: /etc/windowmanager
Hope this helps

Increase the sleep time (highlighted in red above) for whatever it is that is missing from the tray,beaulanger wrote:What should I change if mine looks like this?
