[qubes-users] Desktop shell choices & integration on dom0

2017-05-21 Thread Vít Šesták
There is official Xfce support, KDE support and (not sure how much official) i3 
support. Some time ago, I wanted to add Openbox support, but Kwin is fine (and 
can be used with Xfce with some effort).

The main task for integrating a new shell is adding support for colored window 
borders and VM names in titlebar. It is usually achieved by patching the WM 
itself, but for recent Kwin, it is done rather by adding some Kwin-specific 
properties to windows and there are AFAIK no or little Kwin patches needed.

For Gnome Shell, you would need to do the same. Alternatively, you can try 
using Gnome Shell with Kwin or Xfwm if you dare: 
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=138801 . I haven't tried it and 
there might be some issues, but it should theoretically work.

[qubes-users] Desktop shell choices & integration on dom0

2017-05-20 Thread David Seaward
Hi,

Is it possible to change the desktop shell for dom0, for example from
XFCE to GNOME?

Additionally, I'm used to getting some degree of application/shell
integration: notifications, tray icons, widgets (e.g. a controller for
the music app). Do VM apps integrate with the dom0 shell?

Regards,
David
