My only gripe is they don't have a mailing list or seem to respond to questions on the Sourceforge message board, so no way to track development of the project, not even a TODO in the source tarball.

PyPanel rocks! It has no launchbar, but i needed weened off that anyway. (already weened). One great feature of it is that if you only have a couple windows open, it makes the taskbar button wider to show more of the title. And you can color focused, shaded, and iconified differently. cool -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I was looking forward to workspaces, but i tricked pekwm and the pager to act like a 3x3 array of desktops, so i really don't *need* to upgrade. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I wouldn't bother, unless you are running a *really* old version of Pekwm. Claes has been on some kind of compulsory military service and there haven't been many changes in some months.

I'd be goin' to the developers on this one, looks like a problem either in the Makefile or in the code itself.
