Wbar only as Root and how to start it

Howdy!

Trying to get wbar to run on xfce4 over FreeBSD.

Running as user, I can get wbar to come up if I run wbarconf as su from terminal and then hit "Refresh."  But then wbar is running as root on top of the user desktop (weird, huh?).

From terminal as user if I run "wbar" I get "Image not found: maybe using a relative path?" and it doesn't run.

Then, once we do get wbar to run as user, how do I get it to start with xfce4? :-|

Well, are you using a relative path in whatever configuration file you have? Try changing it to an absolute path, i.e. a path that starts at the root (/) partition, e.g. /home/steves/wbar/image.png

Also check this.

Thanks, ManOfSteel; appreciate the response!  I tried that, even tried copying the target file to a new site, changing where the file directed to, got the same, exact error message.

But don't sweat it: I installed awm and it is looking smooth... cool
