Ok, if you didn't compile Tcl/Tk yourself, then this will probably not be the case.
Typing "info patchlevel" at the prompt will tell you what version you are using.
And while you are at that prompt anyways,  :lol: , type "package require tile 0.7" and give us the output.
This thread is getting long..

Hmm, have to ask you as well. Are you using Tcl/Tk svn?
Tile has been integrated in this new version and hence the Tile package
cannot be loaded anymore by chameleon.

Edit: to figure out, start wish8.5 and find out whether you have a namespace named ::ttk

Code:

$ wish8.5
% namespace exists ::ttk
1
%
$ wish8.4
% namespace exists ::ttk
0
%

By the way, I have a patch that quite fixes this problem already. I'll probably soon commit this as not doing so will lead
to more troubles I guess. It's not working very well yet, so I thought I'd discuss it with the plugin's original author,
our beloved mr kkrt, first.

Here's Karel's reply

yeah sure, you can find the plugin here:
http://karel.demeyer.googlepages.com/amsn.html (my still unfinished
homepage)

Though, I must say I don't really want to "support" this plugin.  It
will need some tiny little bit love to go mainstream maybe.  I don't
mind it being in amsn-extras but I'll might forward questions about it
to this list .

friendly greeting,

Karel.

Well, how are you updating? Are you using "svn checkout"? Because that is your mistake then.
You should run "svn checkout" only once, the first time.
Further just run "svn update" to get up to date.
Please read a small svn tutorial you can find anywhere on the web, use google.

No, it's not that easy.
I know somebody created this as a plugin already, though.
It was called something like PhotoAlbum plugin or something, I cannot remember, but it changed
display picture to a random picture in a folder with pictures.
This seems like what you want, I'll try to figure out where it is for you by sending an email to our
developers list.

Lol, yeah, that's a nice idea.
Should not be difficult to implement at all.
Do have to consider the case where you're running this plugin on both clients though

I think this is indeed still an issue with some window managers (I don't say it's not a bug in amsn here!).
Probably you are using a non-standard window manager? Compiz/Beryl or something perhaps?
Why it is aMSN and not any of your other applications could be because most applications do not change
these icons, while aMSN does (different icon according to state).

No, that is impossible, it is the way the protocol works and hence it would require a server side change.
It makes sense that it is like this, because suppose you forget to sign off somewhere, you'd not be able to sign in anymore (unless you could 'manually override' that again).
So, perhaps forward your question to M$

Hoi WM-666, of moet ik zeggen Bert

You did notice the possibility to disable pixmapmenus in the plugin configuration
of Chameleon, right? Where you can Load/Unload plugins, there's also a button
for configuration and you could play a little there to figure out what does work for
you and so use only a part of Chameleon.
Have fun.

That's because you are using the Tk version that has now Tile included.
Several changes are needed. All references to ::tile::* should become ::ttk::*,
should not "package require Tile", not all procs are there (e.g. ::tile::availableThemes should
be copied somehow). I already implemented that but not in a way that I can commit
(it should be implemented in a way that users with old Tcl/Tk are not affected).

In other words, downgrade Tcl/Tk a bit perhaps? Or do not load chameleon until this gets fixed.

Why not just block that person?

@PJ: You're not a Mac user right? I think perhaps an if { ![OnMac] } needs to be added before require'ing pixmapmenu in chameleon.

@Gus: You have a subversion conflict. The lines with >>>>> etcetera are not normal, you have to fix that
(for example, remove the file and run 'svn update').

Another thing. Chameleon uses Tile and Tile is integrated in Tk nowadays (as from 8.5a6 or something).
That probably will raise some other incompatibilities.

Ok GuS, I've committed your changes to trunk.
By the way, please create patches instead of tar.gz, it's easier for all of us
Just run "svn diff > pixmapmenu_gus.patch".

My suggestion (see faq33 also) would be a script like this:
1) check whether pgrep is available, if so, use it
2) ELSE check if pidof is available, if so, use it
3) ELSE perhaps check whether grep -C is available, if so, use it
4) ELSE use grep and a RE that checks whether it STARTS with the command we're looking for.

Note that all this can be implemented in one function that is sourced by the other scripts,
that way, you only need to write (/make changes) only once.

the -C option is probably GNU specific, yes.. so any distro that has gnu ps will most likely support it. I do not know of a platform independent way to query that sort of thing

You should not comment the line "require package pixmapmenu" in gui.tcl.
Make sure your version is exactly equal to the newest repository version.
(If you run a 'svn diff' it should give no changes). Hopefully, that'll work.
