Used the exact code specified above, and same install path, I'm still getting the same error message: GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute helper program (No such file or directory) Might it be that I'm missing some file that gconfd-2 needs and for some reason is not included in the beta distribution? BTW, I noticed another few little bugs. Having cleared the xpm problem, GtkIconFileSelection now works, but it cannot handle extended chars in paths - and my 'home' path just happens to have an eacute in it ;-> The error message is the classic: Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() Which usually means you've forgotten to set the php-gtk.codepage in the ini file, but this was not the problem, and extended chars in other widgets e.g. GtkTextView are handled OK. Also, it doesnt know what to do with a drive root folder e.g. 'C:\'. It takes off the trailing backslash and produces the following: WARNING **: Can not stat folder: C: However, type 'C:/' (notice trailing *slash*) in the 'Go to' field and it will work. But 'C:\WINNT' now becomes 'C:/\WINNT', etc. etc. And finally, it doesn't know about the scroll wheel. Grrr. I guess that, for the foreseeable future, I will have to continue annoying my Windoze users with the Gtk file selector widgets :-) > have fun ;) I sure am ;-) Cheers, -- André =========================================================== Black Holes were created when God divided by zero.
