Leafpad not getting added to wbar
Juanito:
leapad will need the gtk2 libs - if you start it from a terminal window, you will be able to see any error messages.
If you use a browser to look at the .info file, you can change .info to .dep to see the dependencies

tobiaus:
it may have been someone else. but i think you upgraded leafpad to x.15 (instead of x.14) before, plus some locales packages?
neither of us (or, whoever uploaded the newer package) could figure out what the point of that upgrade was, obviously you've figured out what it was since then, so don't take my curiosity the wrong way, i just wondered why the upgrade? the difference in size (if any) is probably too nominal to think about, i find leafpad one of the more interesting / important additions in any distro.
Jason W:
As for functional differences in between leafpad versions 0.8.14, 0.8.15, and 0.8.16 you got me on that one. Even the "Limited Edition" had no feature difference I could think of, but was over twice as big so I reverted to standard. The locales are in a different package instead of being discarded in case one wants to make use of them but they are not taking up room in the main extension.
I tend to stay with the latest stable version of packages unless there is a reason not to. That mentality rubbed off on me a little during my time using source distros. It really does not make a difference with something like leafpad. Some apps benefit from staying current - web browsers, Clamav, and such. Others need to stay with one version such as openssl, given the trouble it would be to rebuild every app that depends on it which is what would have to happen with an openssl upgrade. Each extension maintainer is going to have their own philosophy about when to upgrade packages, and for the most part it is just a matter of personal taste.
