Dingo and others, I finally did find GTK-2.16x and a matching glib at: http://puppylinux.ca/members/T/444/gtk+-2.16.6-i486.pet http://puppylinux.ca/members/T/444/glib-2.20.5-i486.pet I have switched to these with no problems. I also understand Barry went back to 2.16x for quirky so maybe give these ...

Hmmm, you went from 2.14x *backwards* to 2.12x. And it fixed it?!?!?!

*Brilliant!!!*

Puppy 4.1.2 had 2.12x and *no* problem with dialog boxes. I never would have thought of going backwards,,,,

I don't know of any issues. But you are pioneering here. So let tell us know.....

Hello, Disregard my SNS post about not being able to log in to my network. Somehow my key text file that I store in Home lost a character. So I was not copy/pasting the correct key. into SNS. :oops: It does work fine and the wl driver has faster network throughput than the b43 driver in 4.3.1std. Ov...

Beem, Yes, Actually I was the person who started that thread. I still find it quite interesting that the problem happened *after* we went to GTK-2.14x OverDrive Update: OOPS, Beem, Sorry I just realized you had quoted disciple and was discussing with him.... FWIW, I think we got it fixed now using G...

I originally thought this was a issue across a few versions, now I've discovered that it is *not* a problem in 4.12. So I'm posting this here... There is a problem with dialog boxes opening up and going off the bottom of the screen with 16:xx format type monitors(recent laptops, wide screens,etc). I...

Sometimes its hard to be sure if the screen redrew or not, but frankly, if the choice is offset dialogues or stable screen in browser, I will take the dialogue option every time Yes, If it is just a redraw and not a white flash then I would put up with that too! Something else I discovered was that...

Micko, Yes from the bottom of page 7. I copied it over the existing file....

Seeing as it didn't work on both SNS and Network Wizard, I'm thinking this maybe a b43 problem....

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if it is a issue only for 16:xx type screens My desktop is the old standard 4:3 format. My laptops are 16:xx types. Maybe that is why there isn't a lot of responses to this thread... Maybe most people are still on the 4:3 format monitors and not seeing what we are... FW...

BTW, What resolution are you running. I also have a stock 4.31 desktop at 1280 x 1024 with no problems....

Also, Don't try ubuntu's 2.16 I just tried it and it blew up the desktop also. But I did learn something new. When you remove a upgrade package puppy copies a copy from RO to RW in initrd. Kind of wastefull but now that I know it happens I'll be able to monitor it and keep it under control. And usua...

so, I Fear we must think another way to solve off-center problem Well, I was thinking about your situation and remember that Barry rolled back to 2.16.xx for Quirky. So I downloaded it today to play with and it looks the patch is in it also. I scoured the usual "pet" sites and didn't find...

Using Quirky 10 and the new SNS script from this forum, Using the b43 driver and my 128bit hex WEP key I can't make it to the router with Network Wizard or SNS. Here is the log from SNS: STEP1a: ifconfig wlan0 up STEP1b: iwlist wlan0 scan Cell 01 - Address: 00:0C:41:6E:2C:DF Channel:6 Frequency:2.43...

Dingo, When you say flicker is it a white flash or more like a Ctrl +R screen refresh?

If anybody has tried this, Can you please report your findings....

DaveS Glad to hear! Dingo, FWIW My wife and I have been using SeaMonkey all evening and we havn't seen this flashing as of yet. Just a theory here, Maybe It is hardware specific. I have a Compaq with an Intel X3100 Graphics chipset and my wife has a Toshiba with a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M . These were...

DaveS,

Yes, There is a fairly simple patch for that in my post above yours.


Dingo,

Great! Let me know if you *do* find anything funky. So far I'm OK with everything...

I found out Barry found a fix to the Rox-Filer bug in the previous blog post at http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01389 At this point I have say it pays to keep up with his blog....:oops: He shows some text to paste into /etc/profile On further reading down the comments section it was discussed e...

I think it is 2.14-7 My research indicates you have get past that before the new GTKFileChooser patch was available. If you could find something in 2.16, I think they should be in there. Then you will be a little back from the "bleeding edge". Be sure and update glib also. FWIW, I'm OK wit...

Update: I discovered Barry compiled the lib files. Thanks Barry!! He mentioned it in his blog and that it might have some quirks so be sure and read before using. For me so far, It is worth it. http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01180 If you find it is not worth it, you can always unwind it be rem...

Cool! Glad to be of some help!! Can you please put all your usual apps through their paces to see if this broke anything else and then check back in here with your results? I'd like to get as much feedback as possible before I mark this solved. Also, I'd like to say thanks to whoever made those lib ...

Hello, I found : ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/gtk+-2.18.3-p4.pet installed it and the problem went away. Hopefully this will be used in the next Puppy release. UPDATE: After installing, I noticed it broke Geany. It closes unexpectedly when I try to open filecho...
