icewm problems
After a recent massive testing dist-upgrade (128 upgraded, 8 newly
installed and 60 removed) I have had problems getting icewm to work as
it used to. The 60 packages that were removed are almost all kde
packages and one of the 8 newly installed was kdelibs-data. After the
upgrade kdm was gone although it was not listed among the 60 packages
which were removed. gdm allowed a log-in and then aborted.
After re-loading kdm (fancy new log in page) I could start icewm but the
toolbar no longer included pysol although is was still specified in
.icewm/toolbar. Pysol could still be run from an x terminal but was
missing from programs/games/card.
After experimenting with gnome packages I found a combination that
allowed gdm to start gnome and pysol was included in games/card but
still missing in the kdm start of icewm.
This may seem like a trivial problem but my daughter is addicted to
pysol and I don't dare upgrade her computer until I can solve the
problem. On the other hand after the last upgrade of her computer xprt
wont work and --fix-broken wont fix it.
If anyone has any idea how to cure this I would greatly appreciate it.
