The most recent release of the patch works with ion2 version 20040211, but not 20040411 (the latest). You can download it from, for example: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/x11-wm/ion2/files/xftde-20040207.patch Choose the download link. This patch certainly isn't going to be distributed with Ion. Tuomo has added some hooks into the default drawing engine that allows the xftde to work "properly" (i.e. just overriding the font drawing stuff, not providing a full drawing engine). I started to write a new xftde based on this, but ran into some problems and have been distracted since. The code is attached, but doesn't work: I think I've implemented too much functionality in some areas and not enough in others! Regards, -- Tom
