jblinux - graphics boxes empty
I've installed xfce and Wide (an IDE for devloping C++ gui apps) on jblinux. In both cases the splash screen does not appear at startup - just an empty box. In the case of Wide, none of the icons appear for the IDE screens - just little boxes. If you hoverover an icon, the help text appears, and you get the desired action when you click in the box. With Wide, I get the same results running the app under kde. Any ideas? -- Collins Richey Denver Area jblinux 2.2 xfce sylpheed opera ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
