IcePref Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
	Why, after I run IcePref with a version of IceWM earlier than
	0.9.34, do all of my desktops disappear?

Answer: 
	Earlier versions of IcePref used a different (clumsier) set of
	options in the configuration file for specifying work space names.
	An incompatible system was introduced in version 0.9.34, about the
	time IcePref came to be.  I advise you not to use IcePref with
	earlier versions of Ice.

Question:
	Why do I get a message like:

	Traceback (innermost last):
  	File "/usr/bin/icepref", line 14, in ?
    		from gtk import *
	ImportError: No module named gtk

	when I try to run IcePref?

Answer:
	Either PyGTK is not installed or it is not installed properly.  This is
	one of the few problems that is actually _not my fault_.  You can, by the
	way, tell whether you have properly installed PyGTK by running the example
	programs included with the PyGTK docs.  If these do not run, do not expect
	IcePref to run either.

Question:
	Why did you write IcePref within PyGTK instead of plain old tkinter?
	
Answer:
	I despise Tk.  I think it looks ugly and I don't like working with it,
	even through Python.  Of course, it would have been better for most people
	if I had written IcePref with tkinter, since almost all python
	installations include that little beauty.  I am still considering porting
	the whole mess to Tk, a thought which fills me with pain and trepidation. 
	Tell me what you think.

Question:
	When will such-and-such a feature be added?
	
Answer: When you write the code to implement it ;-)  Give me your suggestions
	all the same, but remember that I might not be able to implement them in
	the immediate future.  I am, after all, a busy student with much to
	accomplish.  Furthermore, I am not a real programmer, so I have limited
	powers when it comes to coding.
