after a lot of coffee a day or two of gunzips tar -xfs, filerolling rpms and checking a freebsd live cd for directory structure amidst repeated powerouts due to french electricity and a sata 100 disk cable that sometimes has a mind of it's own when booting up (the quick fix take the side of the computer off replug all the power cables and ide cables in a slightly different way but keeping in mind boot table configuration, restart machine and hey presto, athough I am going to have to build a new box soon, still using a socket seven, which must be near death by now after all it has seen.), I figured it out and all of rox except oroborox works well but since I actually wanted it for fluxbbox and enlightenment to give back functionality that I used to get from good old kde1 and the kfm process not being tied to the kde desktop in order to run, I am very very happy indeed.
oroborox appears to have compiled okay but hangs the computer each time rox session tries to use it as the default wm.
adding to kdm was no problem on suse 10.1 either since you just write a new .desktop file using SciTE and add it to /usr/share/xsession and/or xsessions depending on whether like me you've renamed things on an industrial scale making sure of course that permissions for the .desktop file are not root only.
an important thing to note: suse is a bit dodgy on the position of its vte package and therefore roxterm doesn't compile, I may fix that soon by compiling a new vte package if and when I can assure myself that won't screw up gnome-terminal or konsole which do rely on the suse 10.1 version.
but thanks for the tip, I'll check the directory structure you've given to make sure it's all in the right place but at the moment it works like a dream, complete with Buuf Deuce icons an a minimalistic dyne theme for gtk2.
Just one question? If I hacked a copy of an AppRun script, would that be the best way to make new wrappers for program launching in rox filer? I haven't looked too deeply yet but I figure that would be the best method.
was going to give up on rox but
