Hi,

since there are plans to move away from kde to xfce (or is it now
lxde?), I am trying to use xfce more.
But I have a problem. I usually start my programs via krunner or in i3
via dmenu. I can just start typing something like: untrusted:
google-chrome, hit enter and the application will start if it is in the
added shortcuts - usually typing only a couple of characters already
works.
With the Application Launcher that doesn't really work.

There are no suggestions when starting to type a domain-name, not even
when the domain-name is completed. When I type something completely like
"untrusted: gnome-terminal", the Launcher will on hitting enter show a
red icon left from the application-name but nothing else happens. I can
click on the right icon in the input field and a menu with the domains
and applications appear. When I start typing, I will see how the list
gets reduced. But there is still no tab-completion and I can "reach" the
apps only by clicking on them. And they still won't start. The Launcher
works for me only with dom0-applications. Am I doing something wrong?

Now my questions:
 - Is there any way to get the Exposé-mode in xfce like in KDE where I see all 
my open applications at once?
 - Is there a way to get thumbnails from my applications in the
 app-switcher?
 - Or would I need to install something like compiz for that?

Please consider using xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin as the default menu. It's
search even works in contrast to the Application Launcher.
Right now it isn't installed in a default.

Niels

P.s.: KDE5 runs for me without any problems ;)
