Ohhhh.... I didn't want to have to work that hard for it. :-) XFCE is also lightweight, fast, nice-looking and relatively easy to customize without having to hack into config files and restart the session to see the changes. I can't get transparency to work right in the terminals, and it handles dual monitors in a unique way, but I can live with that. However, I do appreciate the info. Info like that is always useful. One day I might find I have to switch for some reason. I imagine that the LXDE folks, and the Unity folks, have someone other than me in mind as a target audience. They both seem designed for folks who use computers for pretty standard tasks and who don't already spend their days mucking around in the bit-bin anyway, and that's a really good thing to have available. But, for the folks who don't do standard things, it can be frustrating. That's been my impression of Ubuntu in general. If you need to do something they've made easy for you, doing that thing is very, very easy. If you need to do something else, it can be very, very difficult, if not nearly impossible. But, we now have VM's, so that's not such a big problem anymore, at least in some cases. :-) L On Fri, Dec 9, 2011 at 4:15 PM, Rob Owens <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Dec 09, 2011 at 10:20:32AM -0500, Lachele Foley (Lists) wrote: >> Regarding LXDE: I decided to try it when I came in this morning.
