Re: [gentoo-user] Fbpanel - Fluxbox - Gkrellm Questions
Took me a while to figure out what sudo was complaining about - my shutdown line includes a 15 second delay /sbin/shutdown -h 15 needed to be t=15. Once I solved that, it quit complaining. I'd though to simply take advantage of the already available line for the wheel group being allowed to execute any command w/o a pw but thought thrice about it and went the individual command route. Will be testing quite soon now that I've got the sleep command working.

[gentoo-user] Fbpanel - Fluxbox - Gkrellm Questions
Several questions/issues here Fluxbox I want to add the option to shutdown - reboot - sleep to the fluxbox menu similar to how KDE offered them using powerdevil Anyone with working entries want to post em? Using Gkrellm and anyone have suggestions for a plug-in that offers the shutdown - reboot - sleep options (used to be one but?) Last is Fbpanel Tested it and although it's nice and offers the options, I can't modify the blasted menu as needed (where is it hiding the menu config?) and the power options all reference sudo (gnomes method) and I'd rather use either the same method kde did with same features (lock/logout shutdown/reboot sleep) so anyone with working configs? One thing I don't like about fbpanel is it's hiding of the fluxbox taskbar/tray (Yep flux now has a tray) so I'm not even sure I'll keep the thing installed but I'm willing to give it a try if I can edit/tweak the menu and such since it may prove usable in fvwm as I'm testing that.

If I can try to answer one of them, this is what used to work fine for me (I
don't really use fluxbox anymore, but have it there as a back up when
enlightenement screws up ;-) )

From what I recall Fluxbox had a tool tray for years, but I never used
fbpanel. Instead Ctrl+scroll got me around my 4 desktops.

Thanks for the feedback Mick but I'm going a different route.
Had to install the pm-utils package as that includes the suspend feature I want
and have added my user to the shutdown group - easier then sudo and doesn't
require a pw then.
Re: [gentoo-user] Fbpanel - Fluxbox - Gkrellm Questions
Turns out there's no shutdown group on my system now so it must be added
when kde is installed with powerdevil - oh well. Guess I'll have to either
create it or go the sudo route since I'm more concerned with what works.
