I know I can use a PWidget, but I prefer the compact CPU graph in the tray. It used to be there... and shows when I use Open Box, but not with JWM. There is a blank spot where it normally resides, beside the clock. Was wondering also, what is "blinky", JUST the network icon in the tray? Or is blinky running the tray? I have searched, but cannot seem to find a solution. Or even what caused it to disappear in the first place. **Lovin' Puppy!*** _________________

They are two different things. Openbox has its own graph showing CPU usage i.e. 0% to 100%. Puppy's tray is normally configured to swallow xload, which is a separate program that shows CPU load, i.e. number of threads, from 0 to infinity. There is also now a CPU usage trayapp which will work with JWM or pretty much any other window manager, if you want one. But I doubt that it is included by default in a standard Puppy.
Yes.
Hmmm. Does xload run OK if you start it from a terminal? _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

What I have now is a small white box with a small black line (about a pixel high, slowly moving left to right) with 'pupp' showing? |

OK, that sounds like xload is working. So the problem is with swallowing it into the JWM tray. I presume you've tried restarting X or puppy? I think sometimes when you just restart JWM it doesn't quite swallow programs correctly. Do you get any messages if you run `jwm -p` in a terminal? Can you look in /root/.jwmrc-tray and post the section that looks something like this?:
