Yesterday, when she booted the system, X came up but the panel did not load. This happens occasionally (only since xfce4), and is usually fixed (in other distributions) by right-clicking on the desktop and opening a virtual terminal.    However, when I tried this, all I saw was a Xfce settings dialog box offering to create a launcher as the best of four bad options. But, when I filled in the command line with 'xterm', the OK button remained inactive.    How do you suggest I access a console so I can manually start xfce4-panel running in the background, and have the session manager re-incorporate it for the next boot?</blockquote><div> Perhaps you could try pressing Alt+F2? Or you could directly create a launcher for xfce4-panel ;-) </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Rich </blockquote></div> -- Vincent
