Hey SW: Thanks. AAHH, yes. All true. I had it set up to run correctly before the updates. After the updates, it would not. And, even thru all of that rigamarow, it still does not display the parameters that are in the menu item because what you see is not the xearth program started from the menu that is *still* running(check w/ gtop). What you see is a KDE program to display xearth and a work around that does not 'work around' very good, imo. If you logout out of KDE, you will see a quick flash of the xearth program as it should be(based on the menu parameters). It runs just fine in Gnome - and no rigamarow* either. Have A Great Day! rj * rigamarow was loosely defined by my mother once as a description of something similar to having to go up the mountain to fetch a pail so that you could draw the water from the well behind the house in order for you to have a drink because you were thirsty. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --- Steve Wray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I got it to work... > In case you didn't try it heres what I did. > > You right click the desktop, > select "Configure Background..." > > First tab is "Background" > "Mode:" set that to "Background Program" > Press the "Setup" button below. > Select "xearth" > Press "Modify" if you want to change from defaults. > Press "Ok" > > *** Its not over yet *** > > Next tab is "Wallpaper" > Set "Mode" to "No Wallpaper" > > *NOW* you can press "Ok" > and you *should* have xearth in the root window! > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of r j > > [snip] > > AND, finally, XEARTH DOES NOT RUN ANYMORE! > > Well, that is not exactly true. it runs(there are processes for > each > > attempt) but I can't see the Earth anymore.:-( > > I tried several ways to get it run and show itself but nothing > > worked.:-( > > > > > > My sys is dual 450MHz PIII w/256MB RAM, SCSI & ATA33 drives. > > Running LM7.2 Developer (+kitchen sink) since Nov 1; fresh install > on > > one-half of 20GB drive. > > Only changes have been the updates for CUPS and removal of the > > pilot-files(installed by default).
