And I think not. As a former KDE guy (finally switched all desktops to LXDE) I come from a well integrated enfironment too and can not say that I have any urges to go back for the time being. > Font issue I have no issue with this and haven't used gnome-settings-daemon so I have no idea what the problem might be.

If we do anything in close of this it should first and foremost NOT be dependent on either Evolution nor Lightning or any other calendar. It should in that case be backend independent and they have to integrate with that solution. A dedicated evolution-aware clock plugin to LXPanel would be a great thing to develop in cooperation between Evolution and LXDE that way it will only affect Evolution users. > I have to work with USB drives a lot, taking documents to machines > that are either not networked or to which I don't want to email.

PCManFM shows the drives in the sidebar, indeed they are not mounted but clicking on them mounts them and that is sufficient for most people afaik. Auto mounting just because it's possible is not anything I want to see. Guess what happens when someone connects an USB hub with a dozen of drives attached to it, no the user should be in charge of the drives not the other way around. > gvfs Regarding gvfs I have no idea, I donät know what it would add to my experience of the Desktop, I tend to stick to krusader/terminals for remote access. > X-KDE-SubstituteUID I am no xdg expert but the X options are not standardized and not supporting them is more or less an expected behaviour. -- brother ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
