This is a known bug in JWM config when you select:steve_s wrote:Here's a fun one: I was bragging about Puppy 5.1.1 and showing to a Linux newbie. Then I got clicky and cocky and was showing how to change the desktop.
I clicked on JWM configuration and clicked on "Or apply current gtk theme to JWM" and my tray/panel dissappeared!
They didn't need it, it was just a save file on their computer and I think we found a solution but I don't know for sure since I don't have access to it right now...ps: it had nothing to do with autohide as that was selected as off...weird..
"Or apply current gtk theme to JWM"
It causes the file /root/.jwmrc-tray to be empty. This is the file that displays the tray in JWM.
Look if you have a hidden file /root/.jwmrc-tray.bak, if so, you copy it as /root/.jwmrc-tray, then restart X.
If you selected the option "Or apply current gtk theme to JWM" more than once then this backup will also be empty and you will have to get a good copy from a working install of Puppy Linux.
In Lucid Puppy 5.2 they removed this option in JWM config.
