choosing typical desktop applications

[Suze Baker]

> text editor - gedit
> image viewer - ristretto
> pdf viewer - evince
> video player - totem

I'm pretty easy to please. Like Ralf -- if I don't like an application I
try another, easy enough to remove the original.

> file manager - nautilus

I will be using nautilus now matter what is chosen as standard. The tabs
and scripting ability is plus for me. I figured out how to have resize
all, rename all, open in terminal an audio file converting in the rt-clk
menu... Not a lightbulb discovery for you guys I'm sure! <grin>

> disc burner - brasero

This nifty piece of software and I did not get along.... I am using K3B
- but again no biggie to install myself.


> audio player - audacious
> 
FWIW: Cycling through all the various players I ended up with
gmusicbrowser, being used the most. It seems to organize things like my
brain... pretty scary thought....


On another note I am pleased you are heading to XCFE. Keeping it simple
frees up machine resources to do what counts ---- Creating! 

Keep up the great work on UbuntuStudio!!!!
