Welcome to Club#!, liberator!

In your ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc (easily accessible via the right-click menu, Settings >> tint2 >> Edit config file), you should see a code block similar to this:

# Tasks
urgent_nb_of_blink = 20
task_icon = 1
task_text = 0
task_centered = 1
task_maximum_size = 40 40
task_padding = 2 2
task_background_id = 3
task_active_background_id = 2
task_urgent_background_id = 4
task_iconified_background_id = 3

I believe you want to change task_maximum_size to something like "80 40".

This is corenominal's doing; for some reason, he changed one of the metapackages to require his new crunchbang-icon-theme instead of faenza-crunchbang-icon-theme. If you run `sudo apt-get install faenza-crunchbang-icon-theme` and reboot, you should have your nice white icons back.

As I understand it, this is technically correct; Christian Marillat is (or at least was) a Debian developer/maintainer, but he has been willing to provide packages built against Debian Stable/Testing/Unstable that are, for lack of a better word, too "icky" for the "proper" Debian repos.

My guess is the old debian-multimedia.org domain is now owned by the Russian equivalent of the Yakuza or the Cosa Nostra.  (This is also conjecture, but it would explain an above-the-law mentality.)  The host of the domain probably doesn't give a tihs so long as they're paid.

^ Nope; as I mentioned before, Handbrake and Acroread are still not in the main Waldorf non-free repo.  I'm sure there are several others as well.

Some Linux users use "cruft" and "bloat" in the same breath.  The wallpaper image (and subsequent CafePress merch) came from a time when CrunchBang was based on an Ubuntu minimal install; some users liked to call CrunchBang "Ubuntu decruftified".

Try "strut_policy = none".

Did you simple log out & back in, or did you do a full reboot?

Oh, I see - you just installed Chromium and changed things a bit to make the desktop look like early Statler.  Nothin' wrong with that.

Would you mind posting your complete ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc, and ~/.conkyrc for further scrutiny?  I'm pretty sure the answer is in there.

...may also be a Tint2 strut-policy issue...

Also, please post `uname -a`; from that screenshot, I suspect you have a very early version of a Statler disc from a Linux mag?

^ I was referencing a movie/book title, based on an expression that arose from Operation Market Garden.

This is all rumor and conjecture...which I have been spreading.   It's just a best-guess based on the fact that the first developmental images of Statler and Waldorf both became available well into Squeeze and Wheezy's respective Testing cycles, just a few months before their respective freezes.

Only corenominal knows his plans for Janice; I doubt us moderators will know them any sooner than the rest of you.
