Re: pypanel trouble

Are you trying from the command line? If not try doing it that way and report what the error message is. I am guessing since you have python2.5 you are also using testing so you might have chosen xfce4-svn then the  thunar-svn download has given  some people problems having to do with libhal. I think this is all off my head so just search and see what the fix was.  It should not be too difficult.

So in short check which you have "pacman -Qs thunar" and run from cli to see what error pops up.

[root@arch ~]# thunar
bash: thunar: command not found

Re: pypanel trouble

you probably need to update your paths. Run:
bash /etc/profile
(or logout/relogin) before starting thunar.
