I have two multiple desktops - labelled 1, 2 here for convenience and am using transparent backgrounds on Eterm and gdesklets. With the root hints mentioned above, both picked up the proper backgrounds upon switching to a different desktop - great! But Enlightenment (0.16.7.1-1) gdesklets: Failed to persist on either desktop. Eterm (0.9.2-4): Failed to persist on desktop 1. i.e. failing to persist equates to the background dropping back to a blank background (pale blue for gdesklets and black for Eterm) after about 20 seconds. After failing if you switched desktops and came back again it would redraw with the background but then fail to persist after another 20 seconds. Hope this helps, Daniel. -- email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.optusnet.com.au/stonierd/ --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Yeah, i guess i sent that email a little too hastily. As i was reading this reply, i glanced over at the Eterm in question and it had turned solid black. It looks like that persistence time is more like 2 minutes for me, though. I guess i'll be disabling that hinting for now, unless anyone else has any suggestions.

[e-users] problems compiling ewl
Hi, I'm having problems compiling efl. It has all been checked out of cvs tonight, and everything compiles fine up until I get to ewl. Then I get the following error: Making all in themes make[3]: Entering directory `/home/software/window-managers/enlightenment/e17/libs/ewl/data/themes' (cd ../../data/themes ; edje_cc -v -id ../../data/themes/default/bits/images default.edc ../../data/themes/default.eet) edje_cc: Opening /tmp/edje_cc.edc-tmp-sITglc for input edje_cc: Parsing input file edje_cc: Error. parse error default/bits/entry-groups.edc:31.

Frankly I have no idea what is wrong, and am hoping someone knows the cause of this. For information, I'm running Slackware 10, with gcc 3.3.4 Thanks in advanced ktabic --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
