Booting (or xwin) gives me a plain blue screen with no icons and
no menu button at upper left. Opera has a bug that keeps Alt-F1
from working immediately after you exit Opera so I cannot access
programs without the menu (except by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, xwin,
to restart jwm and X). Using an older copy of .jwmrc did not
fix this. What went wrong and how to get back the menu button?

The lack of menu and various icons at JWM screen top and bottom is due
to /root/.jwmrc-tray having disappeared, as I discovered by error-checking with
jwm -p, which also found other errors including gmplayer & (I removed the &)
and also on lines 207 and 213 of .jwmrc (which I had modified so the line
numbers have changed from the original) invalid tag in Active: Corner and in
Inactive: Corner. I left these - no idea what they do or don't do.

I copied to .jwmrc-tray a .jwmPULP-original-tray from 2010 which differs from
what pulp 0.1 came with, in having menu button and clock all the other icons at
screen bottom, including volume. There are no network or wireless icons. Words
(without having to stick the mouse arrow over the icon) instead of icons would be helpful.

There should be some way to fish the newer .jwmrc-tray out of the .sfs file by mounting
it to a loop or I can copy it from some other installation of .pulp. Right clicking
on the screen also gives a menu (when Alt-F1 fails, after exiting Opera).

I know it's a bit late, but you can get to the content of your original squashfs file when you boot your computer with something other than the PULP.sfs that is installed on your harddrive. So boot from any Puppy CD rom and you should be able to mount the original sfs to any folder adn then you can grab the original file.
HTH,

Hi just want to say nice to have this streamlined Pupplet to work with runs great on my machine.
