please help with getting wbar running [solved]

hi i just installed wbar and i can't seem to find a way to get this thing running. whenever i run the command "wbar" it seems to be running(at least the terminal leads me to believe this) and says:

Using /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar config file.
Using a Super Bar.

even though it says this i cannot get the dock to even appear. how do i get this thing to appear and work?

thanks in advanced
-jimmy

clean your desktop and click on the middle lower part of your screen, near the edge. this should not be the default behvaiour.

to get the behaviour I think you expect (it starting visible), start wbar with:

wbar -above-dek

My wbar is vertical on the right hand side of my screen. I launch it with

wbar -above-desk -isize 36 -idist 8 -jumpf 1.0 -zoomf 1.8 -vbar -pos right

wbar --help will tell you what options you can use launching it, but the other poster is probably correct that you need the -above-desk switch.
