Mike -

If you're still having trouble getting xojpanel to run -
 
If you don't have Qt installed, xojpanel won't build.

Check in the hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel directory to see if xojpanel actually was 
built. If it was, it may run for you if you change to the 
hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel directory first and run it from there. If I don't do 
that, I get errors related to the "lcd.bmp" pixmap not being found. The 
version of xojpanel in that distribution expects lcd.bmp to be found in 
whatever your current directory is.

If you can get it to run from the hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel/ directory, here is 
what you can do to run it from another directory, if you want to go to the 
trouble. An improved version of xojpanel will be distributed with the next 
release, which isn't too far in the future.

Choose a directory that you would like lcd.bmp to reside in, creating it if 
necessary. A suggestion is 
/usr/local/share/pixmaps/hpoj 

Copy lcd.bmp from the hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel/ directory to that location.
Open the file hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel/ojstatus.cpp with a text editor.
Change line 38 from:
LcdPm.load("lcd.bmp");
to:
LcdPm.load("/usr/local/share/pixmaps/hpoj/lcd.bmp");
if you chose that directory.

Rebuild the hpoj package with 'make'.

If you already installed the package, the old xojpanel in the install 
location will need to be deleted or replaced by the new one.
