Does it ever occur  that certain apps don't open with a particular GUI?
 
Care to elaborate further? Some examples?

I had a problem regarding the last 2 apps I downloaded = kraptor and k-ball. This also happened with Dune some time ago.

Not only this but it took several reboots for me to get these games to open at all on XFCE. I found that these apps would only download from my desktop XFCE. However after deleting and reinserting the app, finally it opened via menu XFCE except kraptor [which I really enjoy btw] but I still open from XFCE desktop. What also occured was k-ball icon on XFCE desktop said kraptor!!!  I swear I am not drunk during this. <_<   With mini menu [which I dislike] all was well.

Also Temper [one of my prized emulators]seems to go wherever it wants to on XFCE. :wacko:   :blink:

Never tried opengui and really do not care to. I prefer xfce as my gui !!

Sorry I can not be more technical in my description.

I am not complaining or trolling just curious of why? My internal nand is far from full and I have lots of room on my SD cards.

I reproduce the problem with kraptor on my dev pandora (I didn't notice before because I tested it on another Pandora, running Minimenu). I will investigate, but maybe I just messed up the PXML, as I have done a lot of copy/paste lately (mainly between KBall & Kraptor, same, other, done at 2h intervals...). I may have forgotten to chage a value somewhere.
 
Ooooops !

Yes, I confirm, I messed up the PXML :(

look at this sample of the PXML

    <exec background="true" standalone="true" x11="req" command="runscript.sh"/>

Notice how the "Package" is kraptor, but "Application" is unfortunatly still kball?

I'll repackage an corrected build 02 and post it soon!
