Well, no global or meaningful hint, just my $0.02 on that: As most of the time I use Xubuntu on machines with screens not all too large (netbook, notebook), my usual "first steps of configuration always are like that: * Delete the lower panel as it just occupies space and gets into my way without providing additional benefit. * Lock the upper panel full-size to the screen, make it use the system style, height at 24 pixel, switch off any transparency or composite effects. * In the upper panel, add applets in this order: * start menu (icon only) * places menu (icon only) * task bar * desktop pager (two rows, I usually run with 6 .. 8 virtual desktops) * notification area / system tray * clock * session menu I am aware that this is a highly individual kind of setup, but I've been using a desktop style like that in my day-to-day productive use ever since early XFCE 4.x versions and so far it is the setup I found to be most useful and most unobtrusive - it's there, looks somewhat good, and just works. :) Cheers, Kristian -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
