Description kcsduke 2002-07-10 23:21:56 UTC

I am running Gentoo 1.3b with default USE flags.  I attempted to set the
background with command bsetbg (I believe this is packaged with fluxbox) and
received:

kcs7@kyle kcs7 $ bsetbg ~/gentoo1280x1024.jpg

bsetbg: error: tried to run 'xv -rmode 5 -root -quit' for default argument,
bsetbg: but couldnt find 'xv' in the path! please fix teh following
bsetbg: line in /home/kcs7/.fluxbox/bsetbg to point to an existing application:
bsetbg: DEFAULT="xv -rmode 5 -root -quit"

I ran 'emerge -s xv' and found the xv was not installed.  I then emerged xv and
ran the same bsetbg command again, and it ran properly with no errors.

I did 'emerge -ep fluxbox' and found that xv is not a dependency for fluxbox,
but it appears that it should be.

This is a minor bug, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

ok, xv is NOT a dependency of bsetbg, and I took some heavy abuse from the
#blackbox chaps just to make sure.  Run bsetbg --help and check your .bsetbgrc
settings
