fox-1.6.33 + rezound-0.12.3beta + xfe-1.19.1 + more
Alright, I think I got it this time. How I compiled the fox package is shown at the beginning of the thread. Rezound & xfe seem to be working as expected now. I'm able to type into entry boxes just fine now. So once again, please re-download the fox & fox_dev packages from the beginning of this thread.
No prob.
I had to add so many bugfixes to Muppy, as I oversaw ... this ... and that ...
It is good, that you are so carefull.
Dingo is experimental, so it might be even more difficult to get things correct.
It is good to see, how the list of packages for it grows.
Though I will stay quite a long while with 3.01, as it gives access to the huge Slackware-repos.
But once Dingo is finished, I'll be glad if we have many pets

To get rid of the root warning you can do this:
Edit > Preferences > Dialogs
untick the box that says "Warn if running as root"
Here's a dotpet that will make xfe the default file manager in Puppy.
It will overwrite the /usr/local/bin/rox script and move the original to /usr/local/bin/rox2. It also creates a new desktop file for rox which will execute rox2 instead. All the puppy scripts that use rox as a file manager should instead use xfe. Here is the script:

Title Bar Missing
I've installed the above packages.
XFE will start, but is missing the title bar so I can't drag it around. It has no min/max/close buttons.
XFE from console gives this:
# xfe
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
#
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 exists as a link to libstdc++.so.6.0.9 in the same directory.
/usr/libFOX-1.6.so exists as a link to libFOX-1.6.0.0.31 in the same directory.
Is this a problem or is my problem some place else?
Thanks.

Hi Sylvander,
I didn't use the 1.19.1 XFE presented here. Instead, I used the one from Ubuntu installed from the PPM, which is now at v-1.32.2 I believe? At the moment I can't recall whether or not it showed up in the PPM window, or if I had to do a search for it - but I do seem to remember installing directly from BarryK's PPM and it working fine with LuPu regardless of the version.
The one problem I did have with XFE could be traced back to a bug itself with the FOX engine, and that was that the "Clearlooks Theme" they've encoded into XFE's FOX engine doesn't work to "round off the sharp edges". Yet that's solely a bug in looks and doesn't affect the performance.
I hope this has helped in some small way Sylvander?
Amicalement/Cheers!
