I was also using sysutils/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin (since my laptop has no indicators): any replacement for this?

Please do some searches on freshports, I'm quite sure there are some ports there creating tray icons. Google is your friend too.

I din't find anything, but I'll try again.




In the meantime I upgraded my desktop:

For this kind of stuff (and also the previous point) I'm using sysutils/conky

Doesn't conky show a widget on the desktop? I want that on a panel.

Well, I just proposed what I use daily, everyone has his own preferences.

Now one more question:

I can't quite cope with the deafult themes (Clearlooks which I was using previously, now has changed in some way), so I downloaded some extra ones and I'm trying to install them. However, when I press "+ Add" in xfce4-appearance-settings and choose the tarball, it tries to create a temporary directory in / (e.g. "mktemp: mkdtemp failed on /tmp.G9yLe4V3: Permission denied").
Is this normal???
Is it a bug? Or am I trying to do things the wrong way?

Looking at sources xfce4-settings uses a script to perform the operation at one point it executes this line of code:

tmpdir=`TMPDIR="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$TMPDIR}" mktemp -d`

Could you check with env in a terminal if you have any of those two env vars set?

I do not have any, so the script would obviously end up using the root directory, which is definitely wrong.

I need to think a little what the best solution could be in this case. I also need to check the full script to create a sensible patch.
