Midori 0.4.7 for Fedora 17?
by Heiko Adams
Hi,
will Feodra 17 or even the Xfce 4.10 siderepo get updated packages for
midori 0.4.7?

Icons in Xfce Menu
by Marcus Moeller
Hi all.
In Fedora 18 Alpha, no icons are shown in the Xfce Panel menu.
Is this a known problem, or should I open a BZ on that?

Couldn't make seahorse work on rc3-alpha spin.
by Sergio Cipolla
Hi.
I don't have gnome-keyring nor seahorse installed in my F17.
While testing the rc3-alpha Xfce spin (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test ) I
couldn't add anything to seahorse (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857207 - I later tried
another option and it also didn't work).
I suspected it could be because the gnome-keyring components aren't set
to auto-start so I checked them on 'Session and Startup' logged out and
back in and seahorse still didn't work.
I noticed from the task manager (I would love if htop was on the spin
;-) ) that only the ssh component of gnome-keyring was running and I
don't know if this is normal (there are four components).
So I'm writing because maybe someone would like to check that.
Me testing on the live-cd isn't much reliable, also because my system is
weak and that may influence.
And it doesn't make sense to come with gnome-keyring in the Xfce spin
unless it's enabled.

Request for review: new desktop groups - XFCE
by Bill Nottingham
As part of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReworkPackageGroups, I've
been working on redoing some of the groups that make up installation choices
in anaconda. The idea is to offer a simpler interface, where the user simply
selects which environment they want to run in, plus options for that
environment.
Based on what's in the kickstart file for the XFCE spin, here's what I
have for the XFCE:
XFCE contains:
desktop-backgrounds-compat
Thunar
xfce-utils
xfce4-panel
xfce4-session
xfce4-settings
xfconf
xfdesktop
xfwm4
ConsoleKit
fedora-icon-theme
lightgdm-gtk
gtk-xfce-engine
gvfs
leafpad
NetworkManager-gnome
openssh-askpass
orage
polkit-gnome
Terminal
thunar-archive-plugin
thunar-volman
tumbler
xarchiver
xfce4-appfinder
xfce4-icon-theme
xfce4-mixer
xfce4-power-manager
xfce4-session-engines
xfwm4-theme-nodoka
xscreensaver-base
cheese
catfish
galculator
seahorse
ConsoleKit-x11
NetworkManager-vpnc
NetworkManager-openvpn
NetworkManager-pptp
gnome-bluetooth
xdg-user-dirs-gtk
adwaita-cursor-theme
adwaita-gtk2-theme
adwaita-gtk3-theme
greybird-gtk2-theme
greybird-gtk3-theme
greybird-xfce4-notifyd-theme
greybird-xfwm4-theme
albatross-gtk2-theme
albatross-gtk3-theme
albatross-xfwm4-theme
bluebird-gtk2-theme
bluebird-gtk3-theme
bluebird-xfwm4-theme
ristretto
thunar-media-tags-plugin
xfce4-battery-plugin
xfce4-cellmodem-plugin
xfce4-clipman-plugin
xfce4-cpugraph-plugin
xfce4-datetime-plugin
xfce4-dict-plugin

and has the following 'options' available:
xfce-apps

claws-mail-plugins-spam-report
claws-mail-plugins-tnef
claws-mail-plugins-vcalendar
liferea
pidgin
remmina
remmina-plugins-rdp
remmina-plugins-vnc
transmission
xfce-media
asunder
pavucontrol
parole
pragha
xfburn
xfce-office
abiword
gnumeric
I welcome any and all sanity-checking of this, and ideas for
additions/removals. You can open the current F18/F19 comps files and see the
data that makes this up - the 'xfce-desktop' environment defines what
groups go into XFCE, and which are shown as options, and the groups
referenced there define what packages make them up.
Ideally, once this is firmed up, we can even switch the kickstart in
spins-kickstart to refer to these groups, and retire the old ones. This
way selecting XFCE in anaconda for DVD/network installations would provide
the same experience as the Live image where possible.
Thanks,
Bill

About the F18 spin and how to solve issues.
by Sergio Cipolla
Hello Fedora Xfce community.
First a question: is there someone directly responsible for the Xfce
spin? Or we shape it by reporting bugs to its components?
Last ISO I tried was the nightly build from Sep 21st. I'm not on it
now as my system (single-core, 1GB RAM) struggles with it when I use
it for a while.
I would like to know tips on how to disable some stuff so it loads
lighter (I think I'll try selinux) and also boot 'fromiso' (it works
differently than F17 so the old way doesn't work and boot from USB
isn't an option for me as USB 1.1 is just as slow as a CD, maybe
slower). I'll ask on the test list later anyway for those tips.
Now to the issue of appearance, specially icons.
Package libXcursor (required in F17 by xfce4-settings and gtk2/3)
installs /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Adwaita
This looks like a bug.
It points to Adwaita, but Adwaita doesn't point only to a cursor
theme, instead it defines GTK, Metacity, icon (calls 'gnome') and
cursor themes.
/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/index.theme:
{snip}
GtkTheme=Adwaita
MetacityTheme=Adwaita
IconTheme=gnome
CursorTheme=Adwaita
CursorSize=24
Problem, in the live-CD this overrides whatever settings in Xfce. Even
if cursor theme was set to 'Bluebird', GTK theme for something else
than 'Adwaita' and icon theme for something else than 'gnome'
(actually it's set to 'Rodent'), it would load Adwaita GTK/cursor and
gnome icons, as it does now.
So this is the first issue that needs to be addressed. Either
libXcursor uses an alternative system (so each spin uses its choice of
theme) or it calls a desktop-agnostic theme, like 'Fedora' (which
would need a fix to call a cursor theme and maybe a GTK theme).
If Adwaita is to be the default Fedora theme then it must be fixed to
comply with Xfce too.
This means mostly that 'gnome' icon theme would need some improvements
or Adwaita should call 'Fedora' icon theme instead.
The main icon missing for Xfce (in 'gnome' - thus 'Mist', thus
'Fedora' -, 'Tango' and 'Rodent') is system-suspend (see
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=25811#p25811 ), the 'Suspend'
icon in the 'Actions' panel plugin. But a proper icon theme should
have system-hibernate too (currently xfce4-session uses a workaround
for this lack, shipping its own icons for the logout dialogue).
Besides that we have a particular issue with the Xfce choice for icons.
Currently it's set to use 'Rodent' (package
xfce4-icon-theme-0:4.4.3-7.fc18). This theme is inconsistent *and*
still isn't more compatible with Xfce than the other themes.
If this package is to be kept, I suggest to update to a more
consistent icon theme. Maybe
https://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce ?
I didn't try it with the live-CD or else (and I don't use the
'Actions' plugin on my installed setup). Download is 4.2 MB, doesn't
seem too large. Then it probably would just need to inherit 'Fedora'
icon theme or maybe not even that as there's no more need for
'start-here' icons (and never was in Xfce).
We should look if it doesn't use Ubuntu logos in its icons too.
So that's it folks. I guess I'll post a version of this message on the
test list so we can discuss the issue of default system-wide theme
first before opening a bug report.

Updated Adwaita Theme
by Marcus Moeller
Hi all.
Some of you might have already noticed, that the Adwaita theme has been updated recently. It now includes a full GTK2 port, replacing the old Clearlooks fallback. That's great in general, but seems to cause some issues with non-GNOME DEs.
First of all, drop down menus do no longer have borders. This has been the case with GTK3 apps, already, and has been reported upstream a long time ago (without any real reaction).
Besides that the panel window buttons are looking stucked now, as there is no spacing between and around them.
What are your ideas to handle these things? Is switching to another theme an option (maybe Greybird, which seems to be maintained well and is accepted by the userbase, already)?

xfce4-places-plugin dependency issue with Fedora 4.10 repo

Hi,
I'm using the XFCE 4.10 repo by Kevin. I see this issue:

It has been quite a few days, so I thought it might be worthwhile to
point out.
Thanks a lot.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Looks like the plugin needs bumping and rebuilding in the 4.10 repo?
Cheers,
Jonathan
