Can anyone reproduce the following Window Maker issue?

-----
WindowMaker issue:
Could not execute command: exec WPrefs

Reproducable on the following new full installs of 14RC1:
1. T60 laptop
2. VMware Wks 8 VM

Steps:

1. Launch WindowMaker
2. On blank part of the desktop, right click and select Configure Window Maker.

Result:

You should see an error window that says "Could not execute command: exec WPrefs"

It's as if the expectation is that WPrefs is in one of the paths.

Workaround for the current user:

1. Launch WPrefs from /usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs
2. Select Applications Menu Definition
3. Click on Configure Widnow Maker
4. Enter full path in Program to Run field

Yes, I've sent a patch to Pat which fixes this and the missing themes under the appearance menu.

Thunar issue:
No icons displayed in Windows Maker, Fluxbox, Blackbox, and TWM

Reproducable on clean full installs on:

2. VMware Wks 8 VM

Steps:

1. Launch Thunar from any of the above

Result:
No folder icons

FWVM2 issue:

You need a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file to fix that.
In XFCE, xfsettingsd will set these values, if you're running thunar outside of XFCE then you need to set them yourself.

Can't reproduce that one. Works here.
Anything in your ~/.xsession-errors file to say why?

No worries on being slow, I am still appreciative Thanks!

Did spot an error in the fvwm .xintirc though:

Both xgames and xscreensaver install a /usr/man/man6/maze.6.gz

edit: Both quota and glibc install
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.{h,x}

Nope, no .xsession-errors file on this end. Just .xsession and .xsession-backup . I do see a xauth: message saying .serverauth.3797 does not exist in my home directory.


Running Tail -100 against /var/log/Xorg.0.log isn't telling me much either (may need to increase the number of lines?)

There is a typo in the new 20-plugdev-group-mount-override.pkla file. The line:

Result=Active=yes

should be:

ResultActive=yes

I've already emailed Pat about this.

Same as GazL for me.

@GazL - Nice catch on the .xinitrc. I see the same.
