Greetings!
I think this problem with me is better discussed in the PageStreamLinuxBeta ML. So I post this twice in order to easily change the ML and keep the thread.
Yesterday I was lucky because many things seemed to work ok. I had a visible toolbar and could work from that. This morning I fired the new PGS5.0.4.39Pro up and ran into the same known problem with the black bar across both screens. Again I deleted the pagestream.prefs , started PGS and had to enter the personal data and registration again. Up came the starting requester and the toolbar. However, it stretches again over the two screen as we had it before. Meanwhile I found out that PGS writes new .prefs file each time it closes down. Not touching the prefs editor I can close and open PGS allways with the same result. As soon as I want to change the settings the resulting .prefs file creates the black bar. I don't know what the meaning of all the setting lines in the prefsfile is. There is no explanation connected to each line. The old and the new .prefs file have different length. 1.2 KB and 3.5 KB. Because the files are so short I include them here. This is the working .prefs file

And here comes the faulty .prefs file generating the black bar:

Up to now I couls not find which line in the second .prefs file is wrong!
Another point of interest is pythonlibrary:
heidrp@Dell-PC:~$ python -d Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 5 2008, 19:24:49) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> quit() heidrp@Dell-PC:~$ locate libpython /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1.0 /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libpythonmethod-2.4.so /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libpythonmethod-2.5.so /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libpythonmethod.so /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libpythonplugin.so heidrp@Dell-PC:~$
For my eyes this looks quite good. What is the problem here?
Thank you for your advice Kind regards
