TWL doesn't appear if GTK theme has no Metacity

[Izo]

If the GTK theme you are currently using has no corresponding Metacity theme, then TWL doesn't appear. On any of these non-appearing instances, I've checked the System Monitor and found that TWL is actually there... but doesn't want to appear on my desktop. As soon as I change to a GTK theme that has a Metacity theme as well, TWL loads fine.

Hmmm, I can't reproduce this. Try running it from a terminal and post the output.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. The terminal output to "twl" is:

Thanks, I fixed the problem. A fixed package should be in the ppa in a few hours. https://edge.launchpad.net/~freshapplepy/+archive/twl

Yup, fix received, updated and it now works regardless if the theme has a Metacity or not. Quality work.
