We probably ought to do that in the book.
If we were to do that, we would have to change other things - gnome
likes to hide program names. In my menus I can see the following,
and perhaps I have overlooked others :
Accessories
Archive Manager file-roller
Calculator gnome-calculator
Character Map gucharmap
Files nautilus
Network Tools gnome-nettool
Passwords and Keys seahorse
Screenshot gnome-screenshot
Graphics
Document Viewer evince
Image Viewer eog
Internet
Web epiphany
System
Disk Usage Analyzer baobab
Network Tools gnome-nettool (bis)
System Monitor gnome-system-monitor
OK. Let's leave it alone for now. We may want to revisit in a generic
way later.
When I try the gnome terminal from the xfce system menu, I get nothing. I
can't find any messages about it either.
Have you tried strace ?
No. That's a good idea. I'll try that. I suppose I could try gdb also.

network-manager-applet: comes up but doesn't do anything. I've been testing
wicd and I may not have network manager set up properly.
I built it, but AFAICS there is no program, only an xdg autostart
file.
It should install nm-connection-editor. That's what I tested.
My mistake, I overlooked that. I can attempt to add an ethernet
connection, but all the field descriptions for setting it up are
greyed out as if it did not get added.
Did you run it as root?
Actually I think most of it is working. With a right click on the
applet I can get it to run nm-connection-editor. The problem is that I
can't get it to actually connect to a device. When I run
nmcli device
both wlan0 and eth0 are "unavailable". Google doesn't help much.
Needless to say, getting wifi up via the blfs scripts works fine.
