I've installed a fresh Xfce system, although I selected orage on the installation. But when I installed additional plugins, like -netload, -notes on SIGUSR1 gtk theme were gone and xfcs-mcs-manager too. One thig which is a bit serious if the fact the firefox gots completely frozen once this happens, redenring it unable to use neither restart it, one has to kill -9 and start again. I believe we should handle this better, another idea could be to have a firefox-extension installation likewise system when we tell the user that the plugins will be available once they restart their session, which is non-optimal but more "stable". thanks, Rudy -- Rudy Godoy | 0x3433BD21 | http://stone-head.org ,''`. http://www.apesol.org - http://www.debian.org : :' : GPG FP: 0D12 8537 607E 2DF5 4EFB 35A7 550F 1A00 3433 BD21 `. `' `-
