I’ve put out a new version of drapes, 0.5.0 and i’ll call it stable. Not many changes over the last revision, updated translations, couple minor bug fixes and I updated the deb to work edgy & feisty (but not dapper).
You can fetch it via the usual channels.
Cheers, and here’s to hopping it works for everyone

For what it’s worth, here (Ubuntu Edgy), I had to dpkg –force-overwrite the package because it conflicts with gnome-commander on the scrollkeeper files. Then it took forever to update scrollkeeper (but I guess this is normal). And finally, it crashed when trying to add the applet to the panel. I could launch it by using the menu, but then it crashed as soon as I checked the box “monitor this directory”. I think it’s because it tried to monitor / and hadn’t permission for that. And afterwards it crashed as soon as I launched it (until I disabled monitor in gconf). Here is the traceback:

Hope this can help. By the way, what *I* would like is to have neither applet nor systray. Just the normal wallpaper thing (accessible through right click on the desktop) which would let me chose a wallpaper from a directory, which would be refreshed (with previews) every time I want to change my wallpaper, with an optional automatic change upon login. A definite plus would be if the program wasn’t even loaded in the background but only when I access it, and for the instant required to change the wallpaper at startup.
Thanks Gaetan,
I’m working on correcting the issues, one at a time, I should have a fixed package in a few days.
