I thought that /usr/sbin/fixPuppyPin is supposed to update desktop icons.

I saved my working PuppyPin and copied it over a new Save file one.
Then I ran fixPuppyPin in rxvt and it did nothing.
Checked /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin and it`s the copied one.

Every time X starts, /root/.xintrc executes immediately after X has started. One thing that .xinitrc does is call /usr/sbin/fixPuppyPin, which makes sure that the desktop icons on the right side of the screen are actually on the right side. Note, the 'xlock' icon is used as the marker and it and anything directly under it are relocated to the extreme right side of the screen. The fixPuppyPin script is relevant when changing video modes, such as the first time Puppy is booted.
Anyway, fixPuppyPin also has a problem with dual monitors and I have applied a workaround

Thanks pemasu;

# So I need to restart JWM then?


### Update:
Tried the Menu JWM Config. Restart JWM button and it did nothing for this.

bash-3.2# which jwm
Code:
/usr/bin/jwm -restart


bash-3.2# which restartwm
Code:
/usr/bin/restartwm


are two different things ,

Jwm actually has nothing to do with the PuppyPin : it is rox -p /path to PuppyPin who is managing this -- also started by .xinitrc .

Jwm just manages the windows borders and decorations (buttons), taskbar and menu .

.xinitrc gets sourced/parsed after killing X and running xwin further . xwin is really weird in doing this .

why everything is called wmexit, wmreboot or wmpoweroff and restatrwm not wmrestart or xrestart i do not know .

yes, that can be a pain ... I often just do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and startx

... then realize I forgot to save the code I was working on

I think i could add that Puppy 4 has got a fixitup script :
Code:
type fixitup

Quote:
fixitup is /root/my-applications/sbin/fixitup

here on the Puppy 511 install .
It's content is that :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
