IceWM IcePref and IceMe

[hugerobot]

I have been messing around with Icewm again. I used it a long time ago, and I wanted to try using it again.

 

I am having problems getting IcePref and IceMe to work... I remember liking both applications a lot, and really would like to use them for configuration.

 

Both installed fine from RPMs.. here is the output when I run them:

 

[root@itwebserver downloads]# iceme

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "IceMe.py", line 20, in ?

    import GtkExtra

ImportError: No module named GtkExtra

[root@itwebserver downloads]# icepref

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/X11R6/bin/icepref", line 974, in ?

    class Label(GtkLabel):

NameError: name 'GtkLabel' is not defined

 

It appears that I am missing a package or something related either to python or Gtk...however I did some investigating and, hoping they would contain the missing modules, I installed the following packages:

 

pygtk-0.6.9-3.i386.rpm

python-gtk-0.6.9-3cl.i386.rpm

gtk+-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm

gtk+-devel-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm

gtk+extra-0.99.17.tar.gz

 

But these didn't seem to help... Anyone know what's going on here?

Strange, I didn't have that problem when I installed icewm on mdk9.0. I can't help you, but if you get no help here, the icewm mailing list is very helpful and active. You'll find the address on the icewm homepage.

 

Btw: icepref is not ideal for recent versions of ice, because it doesn't address all the options available in those. And manually editing the preferences file might seem a drag, but it's not hard.

iceperf is on one of the first two mandrake V9 cd's if you are still looking for it. Just use MCC and install packages, type in iceperf in the search dialog box. And after its found, install it.
