Settings are stored under ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/Thunar. Most Xfce applications use xfconf and you can manipluate settings from a script though xfconf-query (vaguely similar to how you'd use gconftool). > Is there a way to run the gnome-system-monitor in the panel?

Xfapplet only supports Bonobo-based but not the newer DBus-based GNOME applets so its not very useful and has been removed from Factory. The CPU-Graph plugin can draw graphs like the gnome-system-monitor applet, if you want to monitor memory, swap and network traffic as well you need to install xfce4-panel-plugin-systemload and xfce4-panel-plugin-netload. Unfortunately they can only display bars and not graphs. > And the "best" for last, although this is kind of cheese I know. Can > I run compiz with XFCE?

Yes, you can use any other window manager in place of xfwm4. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
