Looks like dependency hell to me. I have added the SoS Xfce source, and I have never had any version of Xfce installed on this Mandriva 2005 system. Just wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one to have such trouble. I thought I would give Xfce another look. I tried it several versions back, and couldn't quite get the hang of it. Thus far, the SoS version hasn't changed my opinion. ;-) Best regards. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." -- James Thurber *********************************************** ~Linux Laptop, Powered by Mandriva-2005LE~ *********************************************** ~Reg.
