Greetings,
Two non-fatal/small issues relating to XFce.
1 - How do you configure a shortcut key to bring up the Applications Menu? I found some online help, but that didn't work.
2 - On boot-up, after the scrolling of service messages, and before the appearance of the login screen, there was a small, rotating circle, the equivalent of the spinning hourglass in Windows and other OS's and applications.
In my F18 installations, it doesn't appear. Is there a way to remedy this?
Thank you.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I do have an educated guess on question #2. If the drivers used for video have been changed, or different drivers have been used, you may not be in a video mode where that display is supported. I've been fighting with a lot of video config issues if fc1[78] upgrades and installs, what worked in fc16 doesn't (a) always work, and (b) *often* doesn't get used by fedup, resulting in no video during the update process and after boot into fc18.

Much thanks for your help.
I think have resolved the issue.
Going to Applications Menu -> Settings -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts
The default settings indicate that there is: xfce4-popup-menu for which a shortcut is assigned
The keyboard shortcut should be for: xfce4-popup-menu
I assigned ctrl-escape for this and it works.
