2 simultaneous pypanel on openbox (double pypanel)

[thebloggu]

is it possible to execute two instances of pypanel at the same time in openbox? something like gnome panel? please help

thank you

It looks like pypanel is explicitly coded to prevent this:



if name == "PyPanel":
hide = 1
count += 1
if count == 2:
sys.stderr.write("\nPyPanel is already running! Terminating ...\n\n")
sys.exit()
If you really want to, you could either change the count == 2 to count == 3 (or however many you want to run), or comment out sys.exit() and then you could run it multiple times, but it doesn't look like there's any way to have them be configured differently. (But maybe that's what you're after.)

If you're looking for a panel that's designed to run multiple instances with different configurations, you might want to check out fbpanel instead.
