#6 Idesk Will Not Start

[gungholady]

I'm using Gentoo with gcc-3.4.0. Idesk builds and
installs without any errors. Trying to run it results
as follows:

Here is my .ideskrc:

table Config
FontName: tahoma
FontSize: 10
FontColor: #ffffff
Locked: false
Transparency: 150
Shadow: true
ShadowColor: #000000
ShadowX: 1
ShadowY: 2
Bold: false
ClickDelay: 300
IconSnap: true
SnapWidth: 55
SnapHeight: 100
SnapOrigin: BottomRight
SnapShadow: true
SnapShadowTrans: 200
CaptionOnHover: false
end

table Actions
Lock: control right doubleClk
Reload: middle doubleClk
Drag: left hold
EndDrag: left singleClk
Execute[0]: left doubleClk
Execute[1]: right doubleClk
end

Herei is an one of the .lnk files I've set up in .idesktop:

table Icon
Caption: Firefox
Icon: /home/kathy/.idesktop/icons/firefox-icon.png
Command: firefox
end

The command "idesk &" yields the following error:

kathy@gungholady idesk $ idesk &
[1] 10160
kathy@gungholady idesk $ terminate called after
throwing an instance of 'std::ios_base::failure'
what(): basic_filebuf::underflow error reading the file

I have to hit control c to get the following:

[1]+ Aborted idesk

Any help to solve this would be appreciated. I am not
the only one with this problem.

You sure the file
/home/kathy/.idesktop/icons/firefox-icon.png exists? or it
have read permisions for you user. The file open with other
aplication?
because I think that is the error.

Yes, the file existed at the time. It had the correct
permissions and was not in use by another application. I
have since gone back to using kde and am no longer trying to
get idesk to work
