Ah I was wrong, it's not the average, but the root transparency :) Since you have no root pixmap, it makes no sense to have it active. > Here are my colorsets; > > Colorset 1 fg black, bg #8FA4BF, Plain, NoShape These are causing the problem: > Colorset 2 fg black, bg grey, NoShape, RootTransparent buffer, Tint white 10 > Colorset 3 fg black, bg grey, NoShape, RootTransparent buffer, Tint white 20 > Colorset 4 fg black, bg Khaki1, Plain, NoShape > Colorset 5 fg black, bg rgb:00/00/50, Plain, NoShape > Colorset 6 fg Black, bg gray60, hi gray75, sh gray30 > Colorset 7 fg Black, bg rgb:ae/b2/c3, hi gray95, sh gray40 > Colorset 8 fg Black, hi White, DGradient 128 1 #f6f6f6 50 #101010, sh black > 50 > Colorset 9 NoShape, VGradient 13 1 #f6f6f6 50 #000000, Alpha 50 > Colorset 10 VGradient 13 1 #f6f6f6 50 gray40 > > The error is listed 3 times in my .xsession file. I could only find 2 problems.. Please remove the transparency and tint options and see if it solves it. Cheers, Renato
