Charles Hi Y'all, Just given my urpmi settings a thorough spring clean, added the full complement of source (including yours, Charles) and installed the latest xfce4. I now seem to have the full range of menus, icons (though file manager doesn't seem to be working this time) and settings. Thanks to everybody who helped, especially Charles, whose site is an invaluable resource for all Mandrake users.

[newbie] URPMI - An infinity of Dependencies
Having become convinced that something was fundamentally wrong with my installation of xfce4, I uninstalled the lot and attempted a fresh install via urpmi. It failed due to unsatisfied dependencies. Evidently xfprint was required. Installation of xfprint failed due to the absence of a2ps which failed due to the absence of I forget what but this loop continued until it was asking me for dvd libraries or something (I don't have a dvd) and I ran out of enthusiasm for the entire project I'm obviously wrong but I'd always thought that urpmi was supposed to take care of dependencies for me. Is there a way round this or should I resign myself to an xfce4less existence? -- Graham Watkins "Don't be lucid and ironic; people will turn this against you to show that you aren't a nice person." - Albert Camus Registered Linux user number 265254 http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
