Pavel: How much work would it be to get xfce to be one of the standard suse supported desktops and perhaps drop one of the older ones not currently under active development? Xfce is really nice for low power machines, and machines you want to boot really fast. The problem seems to be that once you install it, you are kind of on your own getting the menus to work because its not integrated very well into Suse menu maintenance system. If you install a new package, it usually shows up in kde, but seems never to appear in xfce. Those other guys do support it and they do a pretty good job of keeping the menuing systems in sync between kde/xfce. (You know, those other guys... that *ubuntu bunch. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
