As usual. I just find new ways to screw up my install. Just Luck I guess plus being a biker is a great asset for tinkering and breaking things. Let's recount my AntiX history.
__{{emoticon}}__
I have broken Nitrogen.
I have screwed the pooch with udev.
SMXI and me have a loop ta do history.
Sid and me don't play well together.
Liquorix and my gear don't play well together.
Bit by Concurrency last update
But I just keep puttin along.

Latest snafu. I go to my"run" in menu and low and behold. I am not greeted by gexec. But just a basic run box


So Just to see I log out and log into Fluxbox and hit run. I am greeted with


So I think no big deal. I will just edit Icewm Menu under where it says run. And point it to gexec. Trouble is. Run shows on the menu on Desktop but not in the text file menu for Icewm. Below zip just shows end of file where"Run" should be.


Now I did a ugly workaround this by adding to my quick Launch toolbar menu and it works like a charm. __{{emoticon}}__

All I can figure. Is one. Either my Updating the menu with the Desktop>Icewm>Update Menu (Auto) after installing some games (galaga,KETM,Open-Invaders,Frozen-Bubble) screwed the pooch on this or just my regular upgrade using apt-get maybe had something to do with it. I sure as hell don't know.

If anyone knows where the heck the"Run" entry comes from in the main Taskbar Menu
I will sure as heck edit it or delete that sucka. Can I break something or what? __{{emoticon}}__

In Preferences under IceWM settings at line 475 (at least in 8.2) is this

# Command to select and run a program
RunCommand="fbrun"

Maybe try changing this to gexec?

Thanks Bro. That got it. Now to remove my Toolbar entry. Happy Trails Rok.

The 'Run...' entry in IceWM's menu is ruled by the preferences file (~/.icewm/preferences): The bottommost entries are options from the preferences file: Settings, Run, Open, Help (not the Help in antiX which is set by the menu since the one in preferences is disabled), Toolbar and maybe some else. In antiX, only Settings and Run... are enabled.

Got it all sorted now. I deleted my Toolbar Quick Launch menu entry for"Run". Then edited my .icewm preferences via Control Center to
Works like it used to. I never changed the preferences to fbrun. Mystery to me it is. gexec used to open before when hitting run in Icewm Menu from Start Button.

Must be my fat fingers __{{emoticon}}__

Glad you got it sorted, and for the record, I have had to reinstall at least 5 times because of my addicion to trying to digging into the guts of things and trying to figure out how they work. Thank God for the /home partition, right? Me and SMXI do not get along at all. Maybe one of these days I will learn and actually make backups of my system before I break it.
