Both wms have their own internal dialog box mechanism -- blackbox does not currently. bbrun will approximate this functionality, as will several others programs -- I have definitely seen a GTK+ variant which I believe inspired bbrun. Please post the errors from your build of bbrun and we should be able to get you going. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
