Well, i was sufficiently impressed with KPX v2.02 in my Maui VM that i then had a go at compiling & building v2.03 from source, but i failed at the cmake stage:
None of the other CMAKE PARAMETERS i tried fared any better, & the supposed help file just confused me. I gave up on it, & chose merely to install v2.02 via repos into my "real" Maui on Tower.
It seems to have entirely happily accepted my existing KP2 database, & as you said, Maui's systray happily now displays the icon not a blank space. In some ways KPX's GUI is more primitive than KP2's, but in other ways it's superior. On balance i think i'll probably now stay with it, as it seems better integrated for Linux [afaik, KP2 was a Windows pgm, later ported to Linux, & in my experience so far in Linux for the past few years, it has exhibited multiple misbehaviours that i hope KPX will not].
Thanks rocky!
