Very good Roberts.

Ive got the hang of the tray icons now and have been editing the .jwmrc file a bit. Seems to work ok. I have been trying to add my own icons but so far can not find anywhere that they will be saved and also recognized on reboot. Where can I put my own icons or better still can you add these couple of icons to the next build please ? I know thats a bit of an ask but others may find these useful as well as they are just a couple of X app icons that you dont seem to have there at present.

Could really do with a emelfm tray icon. Its the thing I use the most currently. I will probably make one in the .jwmrc soon .

Also the wireless config does not seem to save any longer. On shutdown there used to be a dialogue that would come up and ask if we wanted to save wireless settings. I am using boot from both floppy and CD with the fromusb frugal options . All other things seem to save and restore on sda1 ok as it says on the shutdown and bootup.. Maybee theres something else going on here.

All good fun.

Ive noticed that my laptop wont shutdown (power down) after DSL stops . The last RC worked ok and DSL 3.4.1 did too. It just ejects the CD and hangs after the enter key is pushed. This is with a CD only bootup with no options and no backups and no mydsl.

Also have a bad time with an ext that worked fine under DSL 3.4.1. This one just hangs the JWM pretty badly and I cant do anything exept Ctrl Alt Del to shut down in the end. Ive tried all sorts of things.

This ext
http://www.users.on.net/~wavetel/temp/kiss-tnc-scripts.tar.gz
just unpacks some small scripts to the home/dsl directory and sets up a menu item with submenus in the mydsl menu. If I run the scripts manually from the A term they are fine but if I run from the submenu off the mydsl then it hangs and seems to freeze the whole desktop out.
Ive tried this as a .dsl extension as well but its no good either. What have I done wrong with this when I made it. I thought it was fine as it worked under 3.4.1 ok..

Would love some clues here as its really painful. Please

The wireless GUI scripts now make scripts in /home/dsl and dfm associates a wireless icon.

Since home/dsl is defaulted in .filetool.lst no need to prompt to save wireless.

Simple to use, upon reboot, double click the wireless icon in your home folder.

You can rename it, then make one for home, office, hotspot(s), etc. Much easier to use.

Your extension, has several problems and one gives the appearance that is hangs the system. You need to hosting aterm for them, your extension menu item must have the same name as the base extension. Extensions should not be installed in home folder. Likely you have permission issues to access /dev/. These are basic extension building questions and extension building/debugging should not be discussed in the Release Candidate area.

xpm files they are being handled by xv in dfm, but xv doesn't exists, maybe it's better to change it into xzgv.
Running xpaint gives me bus error.

Good point, however something is brewing to handle xpm icons with Lua. I am going to modify some of mikshaw's Lua code for this one.
