Then, it is high time to switch for xfce4. First of all, the version number is bigger. :) And, the second of all :), in case of xfce4 I need only one following line in ./xinitrc startxfce4 One even can do without ./xinitrc al all if he do not mind instead of the startx command type startxfce4. P.S. I have switched to xfce4 from gnome2 and nobody can find any difference. Only I know that the image of sun in gnome2 weather applet was nicer. :)
