Booting with Windows

[The Beatles]

Btw windy I had that problem too... that's the only reason I know... I did a locate -i kicker XD

there is no xfce4-systray. Only xftaskbar4 and xfce4-panel
1. panel: systray is a plugin
2. taskbar: you can use XFCE Control Panel or whatever to make it appear in the taskbar

Linspire is the WORST linux distro I've ever used. It is very slow. I'm trying Ubuntu right now. It could be good for someone comming from windows though.

[windhound]

that's pretty much what the guy who's linspire I looked at said
he's a gentoo fan.. but doesnt want to spend 3 days setting up his computer.. (gads, fedora installed in under an hour)

but yeah, to each their own..


that would be it Beatles
I couldnt find it in the yum group, so I assumed systray was it.. seemed likely enough, but I just ended up doing what I should have done to begin with and ran 'yum groupinstall XFCE' and it was packaged somewhere in there with the others

updatedb
is taking forever to run.. *sigh*

[windhound]

^___^

got 'er

do "locate panel.desktop"
and change two of the three files there, its obvious which 'cause the third has just a few lines that doesnt look like it needs changing..

kicker == gone

the only thing I'll miss about it is the K-menu.. I'll set about editing the xfce4 menu so that it has a few of the things its missing later..

[Devari]

Oh, nice!

But... If you only wanted the files on the desktop thingy, why didn't you just run XFCE with kdesktop?

I've got a Linspire iso only because it was the last day of "Freespire" and I finally got through. Heck, I figure it could be useful someday.

Heh, I'm completely KDE. Dunno, I just like it and understand how most of it works. It's pretty fast, too! (And I'm only running a 1.1 GHz machine with 256 MB RAM)

[The Beatles]

Meh, kdesktop takes over too many things for my taste.. mouse and all... I hear the XFCE 4.4 release will feature desktop icons though.

Where did Meh kdesktop take over too many things for his or her taste?What do you do in your spare time?
Oh. Who is saying the XFCE 4point 4 release will feature desktop icons ?I'm happy you're amused. :*laughs*:

[windhound]

there are a few KDE things I use, I just grew to really dislike kicker.. its rather slow, heavy, and crashes 2/3 times on shutdown

[The Beatles]

I used to launch the KDE services on XFCE's startup (you can set it in Sessions). But even so it was slow.

Then again my text editor is pico in an xterm, so who am I to speak...

By now you do not do launch the KDE services on XFCE's startup you can set it in Sessions anymore?And.
Yes, even that. And pico in an xterm so who am he or she to speak is Then again his or her text editor.

XFCE 4.4 looks sweet.

Where did you read about that? I got a link to it from OSnews.

XFCE dev blog. Read on XFFM.

What do you really want to ask me?
Sorry I don't have access to that document. :*laughs*:

[Devari]

Yeah, I found it a couple of days ago. Good read. I'll try it when it comes out, no doubt!

I actually like stock KDE. But I'm funny that way...
