MaLa starts in background?
« on: October 24, 2010, 11:48:53 am »
On startup with TinyXP Mala seems to launch in (or move to) the background and explorer stays in focus. MaLa fills the screen, but the Windows taskbar is visible on top of MaLa. I have to grab a mouse and click to bring it into focus. This happens whether I've checked "Start Mala with Windows" in MaLa's config, or if I just toss a shortcut into the startup folder.

I know I can setup MaLa as my shell, but for now, I'd rather just have it autorun (I have a bunch of admin work to do on my cab).

Any idea why it's doing that? I figured there may be a boot process running after MaLa loads, but I haven't really investigated that avenue yet.

TIA!

I have the exact same problem, but with standard XP Home 32bit.
