I assume that you're lacking frames because you're not actually running a window manager. If you just have e.g. "gnome-panel" in a .xinitrc file then that is _all_ that gets run, because .xinitrc overrides rather than appends to what the default X11 launch does. A mechanism to customize your X11 setup which is now preferred is discussed in: http://finkers.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/finks-xinitrc-gnome-and-kde/ -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
