What about xubuntu-system-tools though? It looks like it was in the archive but is now gone. It provided network-admin i thought for "Manual configuration" of Xfce. > > Are you using gdm and a desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions? > If so, I think a wrapper around startxfce4 as you have it here is the > way to go. Yeah we are. Any other items that should go into the wrapper script and/or be changed you think? > > Again, I am glad you picked Xfce and hopefully we'll get a better > maintained desktop now a new bunch of devs have joined the party :) Yeah, i'm glad too. I hadn't realized how great Xfce was until we started to migrate over :) > > BTW which Xubuntu apps have you dropped and what Ubuntu or other > universe apps are you using? Our seeds are very different than most standard desktop seeds, since we focus around a PVR box. At this point the xfce dependencies that are in the seed are XFCE Based Stuff * thunar * (xfce4-icon-theme) * xfce4-mcs-manager * xfce4-mcs-plugins * xfce4-panel * xfce4-session * xfce4-utils * xfdesktop4 * xfwm4 * (xfwm4-themes) * xfce4-mixer * xfce4-terminal One more question. Update-notifier, should it be coming up from that xinitrc as well? Thanks again, -- Mario Limonciello [EMAIL PROTECTED]
