Edit: I should also mention, that i removed the wallpaper roxapp because removing it saves space, and i let rox manage right clicks on the desktop.
Do you know if everything works ok WITH the wallpaper setter?

i tested it on my desktop WITH the wallpaper setting program. still the same program.

the problem i found out, is that the xevent clicks, but does not release, i noticed this when i tried it on rxvt.

if i knew how to manage xevents i would build a fix, but alas, i do not.

But at least i know what is the entire root of the problem. it's not the sleep, it's the xevent.

if we had it click, and release than it should be fixed.

There isn't much documentation about xevent, seemed like a good idea at the time. I have noticed just tonight that my clock didn't wake, first time for that. Maybe try editing usr/sbin/fixwidgets by deleting the line refering to xevent and using my 'wakeclock.sh' script and see what happens, don't forget to re-edit fixwidgets.
Hope that helps.
Merry Christmas.

Replace your last four lines in usr/sbin/fixwidgets with this
Code:
sleep 3                     #number of seconds before execution
xevent -a 0 0               #number of pixels for cursor to deviate right and down
sleep 1 ; xevent -b 1 2      #simulated left mouse click
sleep 1 ; xevent -a 512 384

and then I will absolutely agree with you if it does not work.

Sincerely

the results were interesting, it clicks at (0,0) but releases around the center of the screen.

i think that you might have found the needed fix for this.

Glad i was able to help with checking for bugs.

Code:
#use xevent to update desktop. By Michael Amadio (01micko)
sleep 3                     #number of seconds before execution
xevent -a 0 0               #sends cursor to coordinates 0 0
sleep 1 ; xevent -b 1 1 0   #simulated left mouse click
sleep 1 ; xevent -a 512 384

J-Bob, try this, I changed the parameter of the 'click' to '1 0' (mouse button down, mouse button up) from '2' (mouse button down and up). Works the same for me, but might improve your problem. If it works you can shorten the sleeps.

You must edit ~/xinitrc with
Code:
fixwidgets
just before
Code:
#exec $CURRENTWM

zigbert explains it in the main post. Wink

I instead make a simple script executable and put in in /root/startup folder:

#!/bin/sh
xli -fillscreen -onroot /root/Choices/ROX-background.jpg
conky -d
fixwidgets
sleep 6 #number of seconds before execution
xeven -a 0 100 #number of pixels for cursor to deviate right and down
sleep 0.2 ; xevent -b 1 2 #simulated left mouse click
sleep 0.1 ; xevent -a 512 384
sleep 0.2 ; xevent -b 3 2

Note: this is pwidgets installation not from the pet, as the pet itself already included xevent command that is on the 0,0 coordinate which make my start menu clicked. So it's better for the pet to remove this line and make a pwidgets-startup.sh instead. That's my suggestion

Just wanna share, if i maybe can help

We now have 'xlideshow' working.
The code is rudimentary so any improvements are welcome.
I need to know how to stop xli from running a commentary in the bottom bar. Any ideas? Anyone? Once that is accomplished it will be ready for Pwidgets.
CatDude has made his own fork of xlideshow and it is very good. It has a GUI to allow adjustment of imagesize, quality, what image folder to use, nice work!
Trio added some very useful input.

I think we can ditch xevent. Discovered xonclock option '--no-winredirect' and I can get the clock to appear, albeit in a window. Will do some hacking and testing to see if it can be improved. The files to look at are /usr/local/pwidgets/func and ~/.xonclockrc. See what we can do.

Update: To quote the man page of xonclock
Quote:
--no-winredirect
If the program is started under KDE or GNOME (and maybe someone else) the clock may get hidden state. Try to set this flag to prevent a such situation. It may help I hope. Default: not set.
or Jwm or Icewm and his hopes are dashed! As are ours!
Looks like we are stuck with xevent for a little while. Sorry for the false hope! Evil or Very Mad

Open ~/.pwidgets/scripts/WeatherIcon in a text editor. You'll see what to do.

That didn't work. Already tried that. Change it to both 0 and 1 and both come back C. Here's the contents (Of the top section) of that file:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#AccuWeather icon, using weather.ttf
#USAGE: WeatherIcon <locationcode>
#Sintot
METRIC=0 #Should be 0 or 1; 0 for F, 1 for C
LOCCOD="USA|EN-US|New York"
if [ -z $1 ] && [ -x $LOCCOD ] ; then
   echo
        echo "USAGE: $0 [locationcode]"
        echo
        exit 0;
elif [ ! -z $1 ] ; then
        LOCCOD=$1
fi
curl -s "http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=1&locCode=$LOCCOD">/tmp/Weather.tmp
SIMBOL=`cat /tmp/Weather.tmp|grep -A2 'description>Currently'|grep gif|sed 's/\// /g'|sed 's/_/ /g'|awk {'print $8'}`
case $SIMBOL in

And a screenshot of this after refreshing pwidgets is attached.
