I SWEAR the first time I opened gpicview the 'About' box said it was a "Lightweight image viewer for Gnome". I must be getting dyslexic as well as nearsighted... Besides that, I thought Ristretto was a good fit because of it being in the Xfce "family". > > gpicview also has some security bugs which you guys probably already > > know about, but I wouldn't want to be too hasty: > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495968) > > Is the version in *buntu the patched one? > > > Yes.

If so, > which one? I'll agree one hundred percent with Vincent's reply to this one. All those skinnable players look funky and 'out-of-place' to me and always have, especially when you have to view it at double size due to having a high-resolution monitor (hmm... imagine a player that uses svg skins...). I do admit it's nice to have a separate media player. Totem's labeling as a "Movie Player" always threw me off... I don't know which one to suggest, honestly. I'll probably get used to it.

You can see some work I did on it at > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Development/Performance Will do. BTW- I noticed a few more things last night. -First start of Mozilla Firefox started up with two tabs of ubufox startpage that were both blank and a tab of the license page. Subsequent runs brought up only one ubufox page. Still blank. -I opened a terminal and grep'd dmesg for errors. Apparently uvesafb crapped out at some point because it couldn't find v86d. A cursory web search looks like uvesafb has replaced vesafb as the default framebuffer driver (confirm?) which depends on v86d (http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/fb/uvesafb.txt). Doing a web search for this bug came up with a healthy handful of reports so I assume it's being worked on. Either way, I assume that one's way upstream... That's all I have for now, I'm downloading today's daily for more testing tonight... -Eddy -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
