Hi -
I've been using wbar on an older DELL laptop with Linux Mint 7 - XFCE and have been noticing that when the system launches wbar shows up with a black rectangle behind it. If I right mouse click on the black rectangle it disappears and the desktop appears behind wbar.
Is there some way of changing the start-up sequence for XFCE so that wbar starts last?
Regards,
Dave

Re: wbar & XFCE start-up sequence
I'm not sure this will work but its worth a try.
In your home folder, there should be a folder called /.scripts. If its not there I think XFCE will check there on startup if you create the folder (it does in normal Mint). I created a very simple bash script there to prevent my conky from starting up too soon like this:
This is saved in Conky.sh so I think you can do the same for wbar but I could be completely wrong. Just replace the code on the fourth line with the command you use to start wbar in the terminal (probably wbar).

Re: wbar & XFCE start-up sequence
Thanks for your feedback. I'll take a look at it this evening.
I also noticed that an XFCE session starts with startxfce4:

I am thinking of tinkering with this as well.
