[SOLVED] PyPanel, tint2 & xcompmgr not working

The last thing I did was take a couple of lines out of my tint2 config, then ran this:

killall tint2 && tint2

tint2 closed, but didn't start again. So, I started PyPanel. This worked all nice, nice.

Next, I ran the executable that I got from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xcompmgr & my desktop effects started.

Then, I rebooted, started X, openbox started, but no tint2 (it's in my autostart.sh file). So, I opened a terminal. Typed tint2, & got this:

real transparency off.... depth: 14
warning : WM doesn't respect NETWM specs. tint2 default to 1 desktop
tint2 : nb monitor 1, nb monitor used 1, nb desktop 1
tint2 : pixmap background detection failed
Segmentation fault

Here's some info regarding that:
I have 1 desktop (not 4)
pixmap (libxpm) IS installed

Now, for PyPanel:

Xlib.protocol.request.QueryExtension
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 957, in <module>
    PyPanel(display.Display())
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 94, in __init__
    self.getDesktopNames()
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 360, in getDesktopNames
    desktop.total = self.root.get_full_property(self._DESKTOP_COUNT, 0).value[0]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'

I don't care which one of tint 2 & pypanel gets fixed, I just need one of them.

I have also reinstalled both & get the same errors

Finally to xcompmgr.

By using the script from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xcompmgr xcompmgr starts. Unfortunately, it looks like my desktop pre-xcompmgr-starting is trying to take over. Everything looks fine with xcompmgr for about 2 seconds, then everything goes back to my non-xcompmgr desktop & I have to guess where my windows are. When I grab the titlebar, it leaves a track of xcompmgr-ed desktop, but lasts 2 seconds & turns back again. Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] PyPanel, tint2 & xcompmgr not working

Okay, I'm an idiot. I started Openbox twice.

Once in .xinitrc & again in autostart.sh

So now PyPanel is fixed & so is xcompmgr. tint2 still brings up the same error, but oh well.
