I thought I'd do these next - please let me know of any reason not to!

Code: Select all
exec xterm || exec $TERM
yes, gksu is fine.mimosa wrote:Anything else that springs to mind? Is gksu still alright?
Use whatever you like, really.mimosa wrote:Also, can engrampa and atril be called as such (exec path, not menu entry), or is it better to use their boring mate-hyphenated-generic-names? Presumably the idea is that if anyone ever notices that "atril" is an ugly name, and changes it, config files and such needn't be altered.
what about them?mimosa wrote:EDIT And what about gtk*setup?
I don't understand what you're trying to do. $TERM is not a variable that points to a terminal emulator app, as you think it does. It is a variable that tells a terminal emulator app what features to use.mimosa wrote:However, even "Terminal" doesn't work. Investigstion reveals that $TERM is called, but that variable appears to be defined as 'Linux' [???]
What about something like:
?Code: Select all
exec xterm || exec $TERM
Code: Select all
Entry = "Terminal" { Actions = "Exec $TERM &" }
Code: Select all
# Variables
INCLUDE = "vars"
Code: Select all
vanilla[.pekwm]$ cat vars | less
$TERM="xterm"
lines 1-1/1 (END
No, it seems $TERM is being overridden in pekwm somehow. I wouldn't worry about it much. Nobody said everything in the menu should be working out of the box with pekwm. The way pekwm works with static menus, it's impossible to cover all cases anyway.mimosa wrote:Thanks gapan. One problem solved, I think. Here is the first entry in the pekwm menu in the 13.37 package:
... and I see that before that there isCode: Select all
Entry = "Terminal" { Actions = "Exec $TERM &" }
... and the vars file has one entry:Code: Select all
# Variables INCLUDE = "vars"
... so probably 'vars' needs fixing or copying somewhere.Code: Select all
vanilla[.pekwm]$ cat vars | less $TERM="xterm" lines 1-1/1 (END
I don't really remember and it doesn't really matter in my opinion.mimosa wrote:One final thing. When I run my package in 13.37 Ratpoison, the background is a black that goes very nicely indeed with the theme. But in current, it's a boring grey. Maybe this is some config left over in Ratpoison (where I do the preparatory work for my packages). But I like it much better than the grey.
Can you remember if when you packaged it, it was supposed to be black or grey? And off the top of your head, where to set this? Is it actually part of the gilouche theme? If you don't remember, I'll investigate.
No, just leave it as it is. If someone installs pekwm, he should be expected to edit some of the menus anyway.mimosa wrote:In fact the problem with the terminal is that xterm isn't installed in the beta. Should I make it a dependency of the package, or do something more complex to make pekwm compatible with all Salix editions?
Don't do that either. How do you know feh is going to be installed?mimosa wrote:At the moment I'm trying to set the black background using feh (in .xinitrc). There has to be an easier way though.
Code: Select all
