Hey, 

thanks for reporting back. :)

hm, I really havent looked at that script. Anyone else having trouble
with that?

hm, unfortunately I dont seem to be able to reproduce this. Could you
find out what steps lead to this crash? Or enable debugging in the
Makefile and set do_print to 1 in debug.c and tell me where it crashes?
That would be great.

same as above. Cant reproduce it. I'll try to some more, though.

Yes, that's a problem. The bg is set to the default bg and updated when
the file exist event comes in from efsd. Not sure how to remedy this.
One way would be holding off showing the view until efsd has told us
about the bg to use. Maybe there are other ways to speed this up, I'll
look into it.

> 5) Iconbar_bottom.bits.db didn't work on the iconbar script though.

Right. Didnt try it. Did this work since the introduction of the
layout.db? That mechanism should not have changed.

Thank you,
