Pypanel

I have a fresh install of Don't Panic, updated to current with pacman. I installed the latest ver of pypanel from community through pacman. First I was getting an error about the config /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pypanel/pypanelrc not existing, then I made a .pypanelrc or pypanelrc in my /home directory and it fixed that, now I'm getting the error below.

[zack@axs ~]$ pypanel 
/usr/bin/pypanel:892: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module ppmodule: This Python has API version 1013, module ppmodule has version 1012.
  from ppmodule import ppinit, ppshade, ppicon, ppfont, ppfontsize, ppclear

pypanelrc version : None
pypanel   version : 2.4

A current pypanelrc example can be found here -
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pypanel/pypanelrc

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 957, in <module>
    PyPanel(display.Display())
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 50, in __init__
    if SHOWLINES or SHOWBORDER:
NameError: global name 'SHOWLINES' is not defined
[zack@axs ~]$

I checked the wiki here, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PyPanel, and I don't have the files that are mentioned. I read the thread that the wiki links to and I guess it doesn't apply to me. Also, menumaker seems to not exist in the repos anymore, but the wiki says that its a good tool to configure my menu... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Pypanel

Not familiar with pypanel, but you must define SHOWLINES in your pypanelrc.
This is an example config found by "Google: pypanelrc".

Re: Pypanel

Well, in fact you just need a working ~/.pypanelrc. So grab one from the net or take the example that comes with the package.
