You can download sources of libgreattao and WXConsoleSpawner from sourceforge.net . Backend GTK+4 do not work, but you can compile GTK+ backend. make -C Modules/common make -C Modules/GTK+ make sudo make install Next, edit /usr/(local?)/share/tao-design/mWidgest/config And replace it's content with: GLOBAL{mWid_mod}=[tao-gtk.so.1.0,tao-gtk.so,tao-Qt5.so.1.0,tao-console.so.1.0] GTK+4 backend makes system unresponsible. GTK+ have some other problems (like you cannot end program before closing WXConsoleSpawner's window). You can try: WXConsoleSpawner /bin/bash WXConsoleSpawner dolphin (Two above works) WXConsoleSpawner xclock (Above one do not worked, because xclock do not link with xcb or xlib and I cannot found solution to test if app opens X socket; we can test if app opens wayland socket instead). I will update README in near future,
