library..from hell?

Does anyone know what libstartup-notification.so is from?
xfce-panel needs it and i cant use xfce on my laptop without it.

Now i just realized im using xfce on my main machine, but a locate libstartup-notification finds nothing. A search on google revealed no info to me either.

Its the xfree86 log that says that its missing. xfce gives an error that the panel crashed and keeps trying to restart it.

EDIT: it isnt the xfree86.log.. its just the first terminal on screen that shows the error.

hi,

What distro is it? It works fine on RH9. Have u tried installing xfce via apt-get?

It is an optional depandancy so you could safely ignore it, but it is provided by the following tgz should you want it:

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/s ... i486-2.tgz

It is also on the 2nd CD in slackware/gnome/

PS you should tell people what distro you mean.

its slackware.. and i dont see how it is an optional dependency. XFCE crashes without it. I shall install that package though. Thanks

MoR, when i upgraded xfce3 to xfce4 using slapt-get i had no problems, is this how you installed it?

I installed it with slackware i think, but i didnt just install everything as i normally do, i picked and chose what to install.... but i think after it didnt work i did upgrade xfce with slapt-get but it still didnt get this library

odd. sorry, i don't know

[Master of Reality]

why are you apoligizing? What dont you know? My question was answered already..... i was merely answering yours

oh. i thought we were still on the issue of how this thing could be optional when it is actually required.
