Ok, do main afterstep flawlessly works nows ?
Except Wharf, is there any module or asapps coredumping ?

What if you lauch them with Start/Modules/(Winlist or Banner) menu ?
Whaf if you delete Wharf entry in autoexec ?
I corrected Banner shaping, so you can try to remove transparent pixels in
include/afterstep.xpm to see if it helps (just replace "None" by "White")

I've checked asmail :
(guylhem@barberouge:asmail)$ grep FILENAME *
asmail.c:#define FILENAME "asmail"
asmail.c: strcat(CfgFile, FILENAME);
asmail.c: strcat(CfgFile, FILENAME);
asmail.c: fprintf(stderr, "asmail: '%s' not found in '%s' or
'%s', using default settings\n", FILENAME, AFTER_DIR, AFTER_SHAREDIR);
So it *should* use your ~G/L/A/asmail !

No, it's "Shape" new function : if you use a background with transparent
pixels, wharf is nicely cut so you can see throught it.

What if you add a transparent pixel ?
It was a bug in AfterStep pre1 versions.

Please send me that icon.
I've some ideas of what might occurs.

I'll try to reproduce it with your icon.

Except Ethan Ficher and Mickael Vitecek, rest of the coders vanished 3
month ago :-(
Since Ethan wrote this new wharf, maybe could you try to mail him ?
(I don't know whether he can read is university email in summer ?)

That's normal.
BTW, you talked about wmapps in afterstep list some weeks ago.
Good news : I've talked with Alfredo Kojima (from WindowMaker), he likes
the idea of uniting asapps & wmapps altogether in a common apps package for
both AfterStep and WindowMaker.
It would be a snapshot of latest working versions of all apps ; I'll "port"
the one causing problems to work with both AS new Wharf and WM Dock.
