Hi ZoOp,

What I really want is to be able to use themes downloaded as user 'dsl' with users other than 'dsl'. So far I have been able to run all programs i've downloaded as 'dsl' with other users, but themes only the wallpaper (because I know where they are located). I have generally been using dsl user but recently I tried to switch resolutions with xvesa and now the desktop isn't loading right (the right click menu only shows Xterm, Restart and Exit. And the background doesn't appear).

BTW i'm on an hd install - does that still affect mydsl extensions at shutdown?

Hi,

Ok, thanks, I see the problem; so, here is a possible solution:

1. if you have a hd install, then you have a dsl user in /home (typically /home/dsl/); another user (say: paul) means another repo (typically /home/paul/);
2. creat your user paul and then open emelfm as super-user;
3. open two windows in emelfm, at your left side with /home/dsl/.fluxbox/background/ and at your right side with /home/paul/.fluxbox/background;
4. copy the backgroud of dsl to paul; do the same with the themes (in the styles repository in /.fluxbox).
5. reboot to check; at each reboot, you have the same background and themes for the dsl user and for the paul user; I hope that I'm right.

For your problem with x: I had the same one once and I didn't find any solution for it to be solved... I also had this problem with knoppix and kde once, and have browsed the web for a solution; I found something, but nothing to do or to complicate for my slim brain.... So my advice is: re-install DSL (I would choose a frugal install instead of a hd, in order to experiment without trouble) and specify your users one more time.

yours
z
