No preferences windows on Linux mint 17.2

[Phillip Mwaniki Nzuli]

I have issues setting up the default key since I am not able to bring up the mutate settings window. I keep getting an error that mutate is running each time I click on the icon from menu. A default hotkey setting on the documentation would really help out here

Try this:
First make sure mutate is not running with pkill mutate
Then find and edit ~/.config/Mutate/config.ini

You will want to find the section that looks like this:

[default]
ScriptAddress=
IconAddress=
HotKey=Ctrl+y
Argument=none
Height=0.3

This is what I have in mine and it has the HotKey set to ctrl + y, I would try something like this first to see if you can get mutate running with some simple hotkey first. Also I have my height set to .3 because on multiple displays of different shapes it will get lost. You may also want to play with the Height: it goes between .1 to .9
