Hi,

I'm currently experimenting with Skippy-XD, a lightweight window picker that displays all open windows as Compiz can do, except this also works well on low-spec hardware. Here's a three-minute-video about Skippy-XD, so you know what it does:

Configuring Skippy-XD is relatively simple. First, I defined a new keyboard shortcut in Xfce's paramenters. I tied the "Windows"-key to the following command:

Then I opened Xfce's session configuration and added this to autostart:

I re-logged into Xfce, opened a few random windows, tried out the "Windows"-key, and everything works fine.

Now the problem starts when I try to configure this for another user. Nothing happens, and when I try to launch skippy-xd in a terminal, I get the following error:

And here's the remains of the first user's session:

My first idea would be to get rid of this file on logout... but how? And maybe there's a better way to go about this.

Any ideas?

This looks perfect. Erm... how do I get these modified sources?

that is a pull request made to the skippy-xd repository by this nick87720z: you can download and apply the patch from the commit.

Just grab the patch and apply it in your SlackBuild.

Or you could grab the whole source including the patched file based on the commit.
