Tint2 Transparency Problem [Solved]

[dlodlo]

Hello,

I have a standard Linux Mint 9 Fluxbox installation (no additional software installed) with all the latest updates in an Asus Eee PC 701.
The problem I've been having since the start is that some times (and there really seems to be no regular pattern or stable period of occurance), when I boot up my tint panel , tint (which also has the standard "factory" configuration) comes up with the wrong area of the underlying desktop displayed as its background. This means that instead of displaying what's directly underneath it, giving a sense of transparency, it takes the top center area of my desktop and uses it as a background for its panel area and buttons - as if it was placed there. Everything goes back to normal for a few more boots when I reset the background image for my desktop.
What's this? Does anybody else have it? And is there a way to fix it?

I'll post some images as soon as it happens again.

Thanks in advance.

looks like tint2 is too speed. try to slow tint2's startup.
(sleep 2s && tint2) &

Here's a part of my ~/.Fluxbox/startup script:

Code: Select all

mintinput1 &
xfce4-power-manager &
tint2 -c ~/.tint2rc &
mintwelcome-launcher &

All I have to do is this?:

Code: Select all

mintinput1 &
xfce4-power-manager &
sleep 2 && tint2 -c ~/.tint2rc &
mintwelcome-launcher &

it looks good to me. but try the line in a terminal to check the syntax.

I tried it and there seems to be no problem.
It's been quite a few boot-ups now and tint2 comes up ok every time.
It seems to have worked. Thanks thil7
