Any suggestions?? Thanks If you are using KDE, enable "Allow programs in desktop window" in Desktop/Behaviour of KDE control center. KDE puts one large window over the X11 root window, and usually xpenguins can find this window through the __SWM_VROOT window property; however, this property seems to be defined only when the option mentioned above is selected. I propose to add this to the README of the package; I also wanted to apply as new maintainer when I saw the RFA, but of course everyone who already applied before has precedence :-) A yet better solution would be of course to display a warning when no background window could be found; For example, add something like fprintf(stderr, "Warning: drawing on X11 root window. If you are using KDE,\n" "and do not see any penguins, enable the option\n" "\"Allow programs in desktop window\" in the KDE control panel\n" "in the Desktop/Behaviour section."); directly before the "return root" line in function ToonGetRootWindow. This could even be suppressed when the "-q" option is passed. IMHO, this is much better than hunting hidden penguins for quite some time ;-) If anyone is interested, I can provide an appropriate patch...
