Hello Matthew,
* I saw some discussion in your ML archive about a display manager - any
decisions on this? Obviously, one will be needed eventually ;)
No decisions so far, beyond the initial discussion you saw. I'd like to avoid ugly xdm/wdm
so it may be a choice between slim and a hacked gdm (not tried yet). Slim is not fully functional
yet either as seen in it's TODO, ctrl-alt-bspace gets out to console not the session choser.
After settling the DM we'll have to see how to best integrate it with xfce4-session as that handles logouts
right now.
* Missing programs - the programs installed by default were pretty nice
choices, and integrated nicely with the look (sylpheed and others).
However there is a massive lack of tools for system administration, most
notably network configuration.
Hopefully there will be some panel plugins for this in the following months or some non-xfce app.
But generally yes, configuring some stuff is not as GUI driven and polished in xfce as in kde/gnome. Lack of
* usplash isn't working (although there is probably not a lot you can do
about this)
it did for breezy, have not tried yet in dapper, right now I am running dapper with XFCE 4.3 from svn
so I do not have xubuntu-desktop installed.
* I look forward to some Ubuntu artwork :)
So far we have the logo I really like, and some wallpapers but hopefully others will contribute too
so that everybody is satisfied with the looks.
Anyway, hello, and thanks for the metapackage. It looks very smooth. I'd
never used rox-filer before, it was very interesting to see a new
approach to usability in file managers. I will have to get used to it,
but my initial impression is that it is quite intuitive.
For dapper we will probably use thunar as the default. We'll discuss this in the future as
there's also xffm, so having 3 light file manages with different philosophies to chose from
is going to be interesting :)
thanks for your feedback
Jani
