anything special about a recent update or something in Eterm that brakes
Esetroot's ability to load png files?

Thanks in advance.

examples:
$ Esetroot gentoo_rust.jpg
result: the background is successfully set.
$ qiv blackbx.png
result: the image displays.
$ Esetroot blackbx.png
Esetroot: Unable to load image file "blackbx.png".
result: no new root image.

Here is some extra info that may help:
# uname -a
Linux laptop 2.4.26-gentoo-r6 #2 Fri Dec 17 14:10:53 GMT 2004 i686 AMD
Athlon(tm) XP Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

/etc/make.conf USE flags:
USE="alsa userlocales -kde -gnome dvd cdrom -arts"

Maybe add png to that? Shouldn't hurt either way, if you want to use
png in general.

At a guess (I don't have anything called Esetroot myself), you're
using enlightenment, and it depends on imlib2 which uses the png USE
flag. Try adding it and 'emerge -va --newuse world'.

hth.

Hey, that worked. I added png to the USE flag list and then re-emerged
imlib2.

I guess I don't understand those USE flags that well.

Thanks for the pointer.
