su to root
run pyvon from Konsole in KDE
black streams box flashes up, then disappears
pyvon window never appears
(ie same as when run as a user)

All files in the Insert directory have permissions 666, ie
-rw-rw-rw- and are owned by root.

pyvon starts ok (nothing in the insert menu, of course)

One folder >00 - Scene templates< in Insert directory containing its 7 
files, no other folders or files.
Pyvon starts, and has only Scene templates in the insert menu.

There are no .pov files installed in the Insert directory, so I copied 
lamp.pov across.  Test done with no other files or directories in the 
Insert directory.
Pyvon won't start, same as before - just flashes the black streams box.
Also, it gives the same result if there is just one .txt file in the Insert 
directory and nothing else.

I also tried with all 22 directories (and their contents) in the Insert 
directory.  Pyvon starts ok.


I hope this helps you debug the programme.

Peter
