Hi All, I'm not sure wether I should contact the port maintainer directly, however, this is my problem: I cvsup'ed the ports tree and did a portupgrade xfce* in /var/db/pkg The build went fine without errors. But when I start xfce, the iconbox on the top is missing. So I tried starting xfce4-iconbox from an xterm window. Which is giving me the following error: [mhettwer@acchilles] <~> $ xfce4-iconbox ** Message: xfce4-iconbox: Running without session manager Any hint were to search for a solution ? some infos about my system: [mhettwer@acchilles] <~> $ uname -a FreeBSD acchilles.cyclades-hannover.de 4.9-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p4 #1: Fri Mar 26 16:38:15 CET 2004 mhettwer@acchilles.cyclades.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ACCHILLES i386 [mhettwer@acchilles] <~> $ ls /var/db/pkg/|grep xfce4 libxfce4gui-4.0.1/ libxfce4mcs-4.0.1/ libxfce4util-4.0.1/ xfce4-battery-plugin-0.2.0_2/ xfce4-desktop-4.0.5/ xfce4-fm-4.0.5/ xfce4-fm-icons-4.0.5/ xfce4-iconbox-4.0.5/ xfce4-mcs-manager-4.0.5/ xfce4-mcs-plugins-4.0.5/ xfce4-minicmd-plugin-0.2.0_2/ xfce4-mixer-4.0.5/ xfce4-notes-plugin-0.9.7_2/ xfce4-panel-4.0.5/ xfce4-panel-themes-4.0.5/ xfce4-print-4.0.5/ xfce4-showdesktop-plugin-0.3.0_2/ xfce4-systemload-plugin-0.3.3_2/ xfce4-systray-4.0.5/ xfce4-toys-4.0.5/ xfce4-utils-4.0.5/ xfce4-wm-4.0.5/ xfce4-wm-themes-4.0.5/ thanks in advance and best regards, Marian

I seem to recall that a session manager is/was not a standard part of xfce. Cheers -- Tony

But this is not an error, and the iconbox must be launched: at least it is the case on my desktop. Are you sure the iconbox is not start after issuing the command? -- -jpeg.
