hostname in roxfiler titlebar

When I run the filer on a remote X display, my hostname isn't shown but
it only says "localhost" instead. I found out that it uses the first
entry in /etc/hosts, so "127.0.0.1 localhost kymatix" does return
"localhost"... maybe it should read the first alias instead if
(strcmp(name,"localhost")==0) ?
Or read the Env Variable $HOST instead of using gethostname() ?

But is $HOST really standard? It should probably get the FQDN anyway.
You can look at the source of exim4 (src/readconf.c), or probably
better, the source of hostname (as "hostname -f" gives the FQDN).

Why don't always use the included version of pymessage? Or at least use
it if the version is newer than the already installed one...

Peter Geer: I found out that the pymessage-sa (0.2.0) doesn't work as a
standalone version:

lijon <at> Kymatix ~]pymessage -e "foo"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/System/Links/Executables/pymessage", line 354, in ?
    control_list.append(controls.EntryWrapper(arg))
NameError: name 'controls' is not defined

I tried copy controls.py to my /usr/local/bin but same thing happens...

Sorry.  Apparently I didn't test that file very well (read: at all). 
You can fix this by running it through a simple sed script:

   cat pymessage-sa | sed's/controls\.//g' > pymessage-sa2

FYI, pymessage-sa will be going away in the next release, so don't get
too used to it.

Is it possible to start a session and not have the Rox-filer pop up as the first thing open in the desktop ?

Ive always had problems running metacity with ROX, there were always
some weird things, especitally with keybindings. 
Have you tried openbox as well? i just tried it and it worked fine...

Im not sure exaxctly what you want, but the part that loads rox is:
at the bottom of the RunROX script. Maybe you can change that line?

That's why I run Sawfish: it works well with ROX.  As for Metacity, I
was going to give it a try, but then I read about needing to use gconf
to set key bindings and I decided to stick with Sawfish.

> Have you tried openbox as well? i just tried it and it worked fine... 

No, because I don't have Openbox installed.  However, I have tried it
with Blackbox, Fluxbox, XFCE, and fvwm95 since my last post, and none of
those work either.  I even tried it as a different user, with a fresh
Choices directory, using an older version of ROX.  No change.  A single
key with no modifier simply won't work.  The same thing happens when
trying to set hotkeys for panel items, by the way.

I'm completely mystified.  Nobody else is having problems, but on my
system, it's like this capability doesn't even exist.  I'm running a
more or less stock Slackware 9.1 installation, so it's not like I have
an exotic software configuration here.  Since it happens on every WM and
for every user account, it pretty much _has_ to be a problem with the
system (X11?, GTK+?) or with ROX.  Where the problem could be, though, I
haven't the slightest idea.

Hrm...
are you running 2.0 series or 2.1 series of ROX?
