what is the underlying gtk widget for print preview?

GtkUnixDialog.

Do you have any yadu binary compiled with html?

No, because the Fatdog64 package repository lacks WebkitGTK, which is a dependency for yadu --html.

I also noted that scripts put in the /root/Startup directory don't work when we get to desktop .

They should, as long as their executable mode is enabled (chmod a+x or rox right-click and select "Permissions").
