Hi there, The file "preferences" should be part of icewm-common IMHO, but is not listed as part of that package. Maybe the bug (if it is a bug) should be listed under that package.
Since it took me a lot of time to find a preferences file I thought I should show how I got it for anyone that has the same problem and comes across this page. Finding the file "preferences" on the web proved to be a real challenge. I gave up on that one pretty quickly. It looks like it is not part of the Debian package for Lenny or Etch eiter. I didn't find them listed on the respected web pages: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/icewm-common/filelist http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/icewm-common/filelist http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/icewm-common/filelist http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/icewm/filelist http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/icewm/filelist http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/icewm/filelist Downloading the source from upstream and compiling didn't work for me, because it wanted some x11 dev packages I did not have installed. Downloading the latest fedora-rpm-packages also didn't work for me either, because rpm2cpio failed to unpack it. I read that there are problems with rpm2cpio and recent rpm packages. So I downloaded an older one: ftp://194.199.20.114/linux/fedora/updates/10/i386/icewm-1.2.37-5.fc10.i386.rpm Unpacking: rpm2cpio icewm-1.2.37-5.fc10.i386.rpm | cpio -idm And there it is: ./usr/share/icewm/preferences I also attached the file. Cheers, Malte
