Then it would seem that it is either my code or FXRuby that is broken, 
here is a minimal example that only displays the C:\ drive (and I have 
drives up till I:\)

####################################

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'fox'
include Fox

class MainWindow < FXMainWindow

	def initialize(app)
		# Invoke base class initialize first
		super(app, 'FXDirList Test case', nil, nil, DECOR_ALL, 100, 100, 800, 600)

		contents = FXHorizontalFrame.new(self, 
LAYOUT_SIDE_TOP|FRAME_NONE|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|PACK_UNIFORM_WIDTH)

		dirlist = FXDirList.new(contents, 0, nil, 0, 
LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LAYOUT_RIGHT)

		# All of these result in just C:\ being displayed, closed, and when 
one navigates
		# it is indeed the C:\ drive. D:\music exists.
		
		dirlist.directory = 'd:/'
		#dirlist.directory = 'd:'
		#dirlist.directory = 'd:\\'
		#dirlist.directory = 'd:/music'
		#dirlist.directory = 'd:\\music'
	end
	
	def create
		super
		show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
	end
end


application = FXApp.new
mainWindow = MainWindow.new(application)
application.create
application.run

##########################

On my machine, all of those combinations display an unexpanded C:\ 
drive, and when I start to navigate the tree, it is indeed C:\.

FXRuby does not seem to have a setDirectory method for that widget, and 
that would probably be a bit unrubyish, but I did try with several such 
calls too, with no result.

Anybody see anything immediately wrong with the above code, so I can 
correct it? :) I would rather have the "all drives" widget, but getting 
this to work is definitely good enough. (Btw, any unrelated code errors 
is also up for critisism, I'm here to learn :)

Still Windows XP, ruby 1.8.0 and FXRuby 1.0.22.

Thanks,
