No notification sounds?
by Heiko Adams 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, is it just me or doesn't Xfce support notification sounds? I recently noticed that Thunderbird doesn't play a system-sound if a new mail arrives. I've disabled the option for loading the Gnome runtime environment on startup. - -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards Heiko Adams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREIAAYFAk7JqEIACgkQ/zGbOvPHkcKrmgEAmb/G7bfmqCKkccKcwIpjJvjh 4yZhhZ5h8DsNf+FOZVIA/0TAvaUxukxb9+NEcIxEwbBhHt9lGJG5y72skMuPXEpO =S8R2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hi, thanks for an awesome distribution. I have noticed that the screenshots on the website are from fedora xfce 12. Maybe its time to update the screenshots so that the screenshots on the website are from the latest and greatest release. -- -Mvh Oliver Propst

Power manager from GNOME
by Miro Hrončok 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, I've installed Fedora 16 Xfce Spin and I'm using my old /home from F14 and 15. Now I have 2 power managers sitting in systray. Image: http://neverhood.etomite.cz/files/power-manager.png The "other" power manager is using GTK3, so I suppose, it is from GNOME. It has no context menu. I cannot find it in processes. I hopped it will disappear if I remove GDM, but it did not. Can you please tell me, how to get rid of it? Thank you, Miro Hrončok Jabber: miro(a)hroncok.cz Telefon: +420777974800

Hi, has anyone figured out a way bring back update notifications to Xfce? It getting boring to open yumex or Terminal to do a yum check-update and recognize that there are no updates available. -- Regards, Heiko Adams

Self introduction
by Jon Masters 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Greetings again, I've decided to standardize on Xfce for the time being, having been - shall we say - less than happy with GNOME. I spent weeks recently reading the Xlib protocol and have started reading the GTK source. I have years worth of catch up to do in UI programming, and initially thought I'd try to revive a GNOME 2.x fork, but even if I had the time to do so, I think that would give too much assistance to a project I strongly disagree with when Xfce is doing something more useful. Anyway. Long story short, I intend to learn more in semi-lurking mode as I study the Xfce source, get a bit more involved upstream, then here. I am very grateful for all of the work being put in by this SIG. Jon.

Dear All. Is it possible to disable drag menu item from pop-up application menu. For example - if one click on a menu item and then move mouse with pressed left button wm gives possibility to move this item to desktop. How can I disable this grag-and-drop functionality in application menu? Thanks.

desktop notifications crashing apps?
by Michael Schwendt 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

At https://bugzilla.redhat.com/754036 is a Fedora 16 user running XFCE who has apps (at least Claws Mail and X-Chat) crashing in the same way when trying to display a notification. #0 _g_dbus_worker_ref (worker=0x0) at gdbusprivate.c:438 No locals. Known thing? And specific to XFCE?

Changing Background Image?
by Frank Murphy 11 Nov '11

What would be the best way to link: /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/* and /usr/share/backgrounds/* to make it easier to chage images. -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded Friend of fedoraproject.org
