I've dropped libredirect hacks in favor of creation of symlink from package in nix store to /opt/MaXX in maxx module like it was somewhere in the past. The reason is that icons of minimized programs on desktop are broken otherwise. I wasn't able to figure issue with strace and got no help in that regard from maxx author

It seems to work so far. Here are a couple of things:

  • hinv requires dmidecode, pciutils, and usbutils
  • The symbols in the iconbox look broken
    (might be my Virtualbox graphics)
  • Most entries in the tools chest menu do not work. For example "System Info", "Desktop Manager", "Search for Files"

@markuskowa Thank you!

  1. fixed
  2. unfortunately don't know how to fix. I'll ask maxx author. As a workaround if we will not find a solution we could fallback to the previous release behaviour *useIconBox: False in Xdefaults. They will be shown on the desktop without issues like on this screen https://www.facebook.com/maxxdesktop/photos/rpp.1083070501713918/1557043887649908/?type=3&theater
  3. these functions are not finished, and so these items point to author specific environment tools
$ grep -e "System Info" -e "Desktop Manager" -e "Search For Files" result/opt/MaXX/etc/system.chestrc
        "System Info"           f.checkexec.sh.le "gnome-control-center info"
        "Desktop Manager"       f.checkexec.sh.le "gnome-control-center"
        "Search For Files"      f.checkexec.sh.le "gnome-search-tool"

These could be overriden in ~/.chestrc

That is not very pretty. Is there no other way to solve this?

@markuskowa Using libredirect, but that way minimized icons are totally broken. Also MaXX author strongly suggests using /opt/MaXX location.

It's unfortunate that the package is closed source.

Setting the old behavior is probably the more clean version for now.
