Hi<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote"></span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>Window Manager Preferences<br><br>Picks up a specific keybinding theme from my previous XFCE
4.2.3<br>settings, but doesn't allow new Shortcuts to be added? Have to<br>create a new theme!? Can't find how to even add a custom key-<br>binding.... am I missing something?</blockquote><div><br>indeed this is an annoying upstream feature. In recent versions it should be a bit
<br>easier, add a new theme and it keeps the rest of the keys. But I agree it is unintuitive<br>to thnk of this as 'themes' indtead of sinpy keys but I guess it is historical and upstream<br>does not seem like is going to change it. And we don't have enough resources to tweak
<br>and maintain changes to upstream xfce desktop as we think would be friendlier.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Applications Menu (Xubuntu specific?)<br><br>File Manager should default to Thunar. Wow, haven't checked it<br>out for a while now and I'm impressed.</blockquote><div><br>it is thunar now <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Separate Lock Screen panel action should be included<br>(ie. not small and included, but separate)</blockquote><div><br>not sure if many more panel applets are needed. It becomes visually cluttered easily.<br><br></div><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">For your average user, under Applications/System sub-menu:<br><br>Where is the network device manager GUI?
</blockquote><div><br>in universe still unfortunately (xubuntu-system-tools) <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Where is the gnome-cups-manager GUI, or a GTK-only equivalent?
</blockquote><div><br>was in my plans but seems won't be there for dapper :( and there's no<br>gtk only thing like that AFAIK. Upstream xfce does not have such tool.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
These functions are absolute essentials for a desktop.</blockquote><div><br>I agree with this. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
The xfce4-taskmanager should definitely be either on the panel by<br>default, or at the very least available via the (+) Add New Item</blockquote><div><br>it's a techie thing. Users shoould not care about 'processes'<br></div>
<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">option on the panel. This is one of the most important apps for<br>your average GUI centric user, when a bloated application like
<br><a href="http://openoffice.org">openoffice.org</a> decides to freeze.</blockquote><div><br>it's not a panel plugin but a normal app so cannot be there. As for freezing apps<br>try ctrl-alt-esc (should trigger xkill, if not it's a bug)
<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I'm not convinced that minimizing apps to icons on the desktop is a<br>good idea... why the introduction of yet another way of showing
</blockquote><div><br>me neither :) File launchers the default since last week, the minimized apps is upstream default<br>for CDE compatibility/nostalgy. There are people who like that but we try to follow what is common
<br>on other desktops.<br></div></div><br><br>Jani<br>
