[solved] Taskcoach (AUR) Installs but does not work

Hello Fellow Forumers! 

I installed Taskcoach from the AUR and it compiled fine without errors.  However, when I try to run it from a terminal I get the following errors:

:~: taskcoach.py 

/bin/sh: xprop: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/taskcoach.py", line 72, in <module>
    start()
  File "/usr/bin/taskcoach.py", line 63, in start

    _xss = CDLL('libXss.so.1')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have no idea where to even start sorting out these errors.  hmm  Help?

Have you got libxss and xorg-xprop installed? They seem to be missing.

Yay it works!  Thank you very much it was a simple fix and I really need to pay more attention to errors I think.  Now to see if I can get SnapWM to play nicely with it.
