------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-20-09 10:33 ------- It is a config error. I removed the "~/.icewm/preferences" file and IceWM loaded with all the widgets. I have not yet found what in the "~/.icewm/preferences" file causes it to hang (actually have not looked yet). I think the fix here is, during the upgrade-install, to replace the current user config file "~/.icewm/preferences" by changing the name to 'preferences-old_version' (or something like that...) so that the newly installed default /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm/preferences file will be used. The user will not get the user's custom config but IceWM will load/run/work. That's better than having a user looking at a blank screen with no keyboard or mouse control. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: icewm-1.2.13-0.3.1mdk installed this morning runs but is completely unusable: There is no taskbar/toolbar or any menus available; left, right and middle click of the mouse buttons do nothing. CTRL-ALT-BSPC is disabled or not working(cannot quit X / icewm) requiring user to go to VC and kill the icewm-session. Oddly( since it is in the middle of the preferences file) the "DesktopBackgroundImage" gets loaded but apparently nothing else. I waited ~ 2 minutes for IceWM to load the first time; normally it takes about 5 seconds to load everything. It worked before the 9->9.2 upgrade _and_ it was working with RC2 version(quite nICEly I will add) before the new cooker version was installed. Probably a config error somewhere(Ima-huntin) but the "upgrade" should not have done that. Note that someone with only IceWM installed will not have a readily available/usable X system if they get this bug too so I marked it "blocker".
