Increasingly perplexed! Decided icewm was not putting pysol on the
toolbar because it couldn't find it. whereis pysol found
/usr/games/pysol and, as I was starting xwindows with kdm, I edited
/etc/init.d/kdm and added /usr/games to the path list. This didn't
solve the problem so I edited .icewm/toolbar in my home directory and
changed the entry to prog "Pysol" /usr/games/pysol pysol. This didn't
work so I commented out prog "Open Office" openoffice openoffice. This
did remove openoffice from the toolbar so the .icewm/toolbar file is
being read when I start kdm. Why then cannot icewm find pysol?
