my fault. I said Glipper, but I wanted to say *glipper-lite*, I used this sourcecode (posted in this thread)source:

Oh, right... Ttuuxxx made a glipper-lite called 1.0 Rolling Eyes

What version of GTK does 3.01 use? If it is 2.12 or greater you might as well apply my gtkbuilder patch too.

OK, it was pointed out in this thread that glipper/glipper-lite doesn't survive if you exit or restart jwm or whatever else is providing the tray notification area.

The fix is just two lines:

OK, heres a package. It also includes Barry's wrapper script this time.

Sorry guys who downloaded it already: you'll have two menu entries now if you installed it over the top of an existing glipper.
I've capitalised the .desktop file name as is traditional in Puppy for some reason, and reuploaded.

I messed around with the sources to remove xml file dependency (converted with glade-2.12), but localization needs fixed now - LC_ALL wasn't defined, so I changed it to "C" so it would build.

(btw it is smaller than the puppy default one which is upx'd in /usr/local/bin)

changes:
used a gtk stock icon vs inline xpm
used gtk's builtin statusicon vs eggtrayicon
replaced preference xml with builtin code
refactored some code
fixed several error messages
fixed ability to change keybinding

todo? gtk's builtin accelerators for the keybindings

Dear technosaurus,

Perhaps you might know the answer to this. I compile glipper-lite using your build script and get the following runtime error:

I actually pulled the full glipper and used its glade file in glade-2.12 (the last one to output C) to convert it to C but the C it generates is deprecated (just warnings) ... I should probably just fork and patch that version of glade to prevent needing to do this in the future.

glipper uses global variables for the widgets, so I combined the C files to make it simpler

I didn't find any good (simple) examples of setting global keybindings for a status icon popup, but if I do, it will go in my simple icon tray.

p.s. aside from the global keybinding (which could be assigned by the wm), all of glipper could be emulated with a small gtkdialog + sit app that uses xclip (I'll add it to my todo list for my sit suite along with battery, temperature, memory, cpu, volume, network, cups, save file and others - so we can have just 1 tray app and 1 shell daemon running)

none AFAIK, I just changed the LC_ALL to "C" to get it to compile ... I'm sure I could get it back by watching a full build of the full glipper (though any localized glade files will need to be po'ed too, since those strings are now in source)

This probably doesn't mean anything in real life, but it is interesting that your version ("glipper" in the attached screenshot) seems to initially use more resources, I guess maybe because you replaced the xml with code.
After opening the history menu or the preferences dialogue mine uses exactly the same Sad

and it doesn't drop down again after these are closed, either. I wonder if it would if I was running out of ram...

For the record, compiling Technosaurus' version on my Arch system I needed to add this to the build script:
