Do you use Grafpup?
I think it has no /root/.jwmrc.
You can download one here:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/download.php?id=1956
Extract to /root (ATTENTION: this overwrites an existing .jwmrc!)
It is not identical to the grafpup-menu, but I think several applications are the same.

Here is a small program to edit the Enlightenment-menu.
Install the Dotpup, and run it from the Dotpups-menu.
Or drag it to the Desktop.
Or run "e16menuedit" in a console.
Or click the"Hammer" icon in the ambermetal-theme.

Nevermore, can you please attach your zipped .jwmrc for tests?

------------------------

Epplets 0.7.1

Small borderless windows displaying CPU-load, Network-traffic, Mixer, and more.

Download (2MB):

They require libGL and libGLU, you can install those with PupGet (package xorg-GL).

Install the Dotpup, restart Enlightenment.
Now you should have a menu-entry for Epplets, when you click with the left mousebutton on your Desktop.

If you don't have it, edit
/root/.enlightenment/file.menu
and add this line:

Thanks for making an e16 dotpup, but how to I get to the regular puppy menu? I can only launch apps that are on the desktop. I tried the menuedut dotpup, but after installing it, when I try to ru nthe program in the command line, I get this error:

# ./e16menuedit2

Brian, the menuedit.pup is just to add own entries to the enlightenment-menu.
It can not import the Puppy-menu.

I will write a script for that in the next days.

Nevermore:
I tried your .jwmrc, and found no errors.
Maybe you get some, if you run
/usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue
from a consolewindow?

At moment, I have no idea why it won't work for you.
Hopefully the script I will make for enlightenent in some days will solve your problems.

another thing:
the wxB menu icon is sometime covered by the taskbar, so became impossible to use...
i don't have a middlebutton mouse so i can't move it..
i think it should be rather in the bottom center, so that it will be covered by jwm taskbar when using jwm and became visible on enlightenment Very Happy

The icon should always float on top over all other icons.
If you run it from .xinitrc , you might have to run it delayed, so that it starts after enlightenment:
sleep 3 && /usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue &
Then it should be on top of the topbar.
Or click -> menue-config -> restart menue

You can set it's position manually; change the values with leafpad in:
/root/.wxb-deskletts/#usr#local#Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8#resource_pos

To use the menu in Enlightenment only, you could use this in .xinitrc:

Thanks, Mark, this is something needed to show people how different *nix can be from Window$. It's really good to finally see Enlightenment in Puppy. Cheers!
