I'm sure there is development under way for an XFCE4 session manager, so feedback is the appropriate way to affect the process. <an aside> I can't post to nor can I unsubscribe from the bloody XFCE list, since the list manager (not the developer) is one of those idiots who blocks all posts from the comcast.net domains. Fortunately other list managers take a more benign view, and I certainly don't see any spam on those lists. </an aside> -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
