hi joel :)

i just downloaded the latest source 0.10.2, compiling and installing was working just without any problems. (using gentoo @ armv7l dynabook)

but starting the programm fails with the following message:
Slimlock: could not load panel image for theme 'slim-gentoo-simple'

i was looking at the source in panel.cpp and found the piece of code at line 107+
it seems it could not read the panel image indeed. now i added a line to the panel.cpp to print out the panelpng.c_str() variable to find out the full path and to verify the image is missing. well, the path was /usr/share/slim/themes/slim-gentoo-simple/panel.png - the path is correct and the image is existing. but it still tells me it can not be loaded.

btw, the same applies to background image: image is existing, but still can not be loaded.

slim is working without problems and displays correctly. slimlock - no idea what's wrong there....

cheers
