Click the Pet Install icon on desktop icewm-1.3.2 is under "Puppy 4" and "Desktop" In the words of Ricky of Trailer Park Boys fame, "It's not rocket appliances" for goodness sake. _________________ hangout: ##b0rked on irc.freenode.net diversion: http://alienjeff.net - visit The Fringe quote: "The foundation of authority is based upon the consent of the people." - Thomas Hooker |

AFAIK, no icon is supposed to appear on the desktop. You'll need to click the "console" desktop icon and type: fixmenus To test your icewm installation: click menu > shutdown > exit to prompt at prompt, type: xwin icewm You should then get the icewm desktop. click menu > logout > confirm logout "ok" at prompt, type: reboot computer should reboot with icewm ODDITY: computer doesn't shutdown as in JWM. Must manually type "poweroff" @ command prompt after logout of icewm _________________ hangout: ##b0rked on irc.freenode.net diversion: http://alienjeff.net - visit The Fringe quote: "The foundation of authority is based upon the consent of the people." - Thomas Hooker |

I've found the installation of icewm far from seamless in Puppy v4.3.1. I'm writing something up on this. The wiki doesn't seem to have anything on this, so I might start a page for it. In the meantime, do any users, preferrable icewm-heads, have any forum links on this? _________________ hangout: ##b0rked on irc.freenode.net diversion: http://alienjeff.net - visit The Fringe quote: "The foundation of authority is based upon the consent of the people." - Thomas Hooker |

Use the forum search feature for "icewm themes" Search Google for "puppy icewm themes" _________________ hangout: ##b0rked on irc.freenode.net diversion: http://alienjeff.net - visit The Fringe quote: "The foundation of authority is based upon the consent of the people." - Thomas Hooker |

Try "xwin jwm" or "xwin icewm" (without the quotes, of course). See if either of those work. If not, try "xorgwizard" and reconfigure. _________________ hangout: ##b0rked on irc.freenode.net diversion: http://alienjeff.net - visit The Fringe quote: "The foundation of authority is based upon the consent of the people." - Thomas Hooker |

Reboot after xwin jwm: missing desktop, missing icons. 
Unable to run xwin icewm, return to prompt w/o open desktop. Xorgwizard done as before but w/o retults. What's wrong? Francesco
