More space saving ideas
by Kevin Fenzi
It seems we need to free up more space to get to the 700mb target, even
if libgcj gone. ;(
Some other ideas:
-evince +xpdf
This also lets us remove nautilus, so -20MB +3=-17MB
-inkscape
Yes, it's a lovely program, but the design-suite has it now and
someone can install it if they need it. It and it's deps saves
us: 63MB
Any other thoughts?

Spin kickstart commit
by Kevin Fenzi
I removed the java group and just added the plugin.
This should save us about 62MB worth of libgcj on the spin.

Xfce Spin commit 2010-03-19

Rationale:
* xdg-user-dirs-gtk instead of just xdg-user-dirs because Thunar
uses the language of ~/.config/user-dirs.locale instead of the
LANG environment variable. With xdg-user-dirs-gtk this can be
changed easily at login.
* Drop Nodoka since we use Clearlooks now

xscreensaver
by Kevin Fenzi
I am going to switch the spin and add to the comps group xscreensaver
for Xfce instead of gnome-screensaver.
This is due to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570380
So, questions:
1. Does anyone know how to disable xscreensaver from the command line?
The spin has a gconf line to disable this for gnome-screensaver. I
assume it's to prevent locking when you are on live as there is no
password for the liveuser anyhow. Or should we just leave it enabled?
2. Can anyone confirm that if gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver are
both installed Xfce prefers/starts/uses xscreensaver? I think it
should, but I am not 100% sure.
3. Do we need to make any changes to the prefs setup to only deal with
xscreensaver?
Anything else anyone can think of we need to do for this change?

Gdm Lxdm
by Frank Murphy
On an F14(Rawhide) box have just removed gdm, installed lxdm.
Unlike Slim, Lxdm has the ability to set language.
yum erase gdm pulled 3 more files out with it.
Working fine so far.
Maybe another step in the De-Gnoming of the spin?

What controls Mouse
by Frank Murphy
What controls the mouse in XFCE?

for learning purpose.
Lef-Right handed?

Welcome to the Fedora Xfce list
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings everyone.
Welcome to the Fedora Xfce list.
I'd like to use this list to coordinate Xfce SIG activities and discuss
Xfce in Fedora. User comments/suggestions welcome as well as developer
input. :)
I'd like to start doing SIG meetings on IRC around once a month as
well. Christoph has setup a matix for people to say when they might
best be available. If you are interested in attending, please go fill
out:
http://whenisgood.net/xfce-sig
Hopefully this will make it easier to get feedback from users and new
people helping out.
Thanks!
