To get rid of the root warning you can do this:
Edit > Preferences > Dialogs
untick the box that says "Warn if running as root"
Here's a dotpet that will make xfe the default file manager in Puppy.
It will overwrite the /usr/local/bin/rox script and move the original to /usr/local/bin/rox2. It also creates a new desktop file for rox which will execute rox2 instead. All the puppy scripts that use rox as a file manager should instead use xfe. Here is the script:

Title Bar Missing
I've installed the above packages.
XFE will start, but is missing the title bar so I can't drag it around. It has no min/max/close buttons.
XFE from console gives this:
# xfe
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
#
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 exists as a link to libstdc++.so.6.0.9 in the same directory.
/usr/libFOX-1.6.so exists as a link to libFOX-1.6.0.0.31 in the same directory.
Is this a problem or is my problem some place else?
Thanks.

Hi Sylvander,
I didn't use the 1.19.1 XFE presented here. Instead, I used the one from Ubuntu installed from the PPM, which is now at v-1.32.2 I believe? At the moment I can't recall whether or not it showed up in the PPM window, or if I had to do a search for it - but I do seem to remember installing directly from BarryK's PPM and it working fine with LuPu regardless of the version.
The one problem I did have with XFE could be traced back to a bug itself with the FOX engine, and that was that the "Clearlooks Theme" they've encoded into XFE's FOX engine doesn't work to "round off the sharp edges". Yet that's solely a bug in looks and doesn't affect the performance.
I hope this has helped in some small way Sylvander?
Amicalement/Cheers!
