Customize Xfce 4.6 logout dialog

Hi,

is it possible to customize, i.e. remove buttons from the Xfce 4.6 logout dialog?
I'm using a desktop pc with neither suspend to disk nor suspend to ram available. I only need the three buttons for shutdown, reboot and logoff.
I'm not using any login manager. I autostart Xfce via .xinitrc from runlevel 5.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Customize Xfce 4.6 logout dialog

why don't you ask the upstream devs? there's a channel on freenode irc and also a dedicated xfce forum.

Re: Customize Xfce 4.6 logout dialog

I got a solution in the xfce forums:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowSuspend' -t 'bool' -s 'false'
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowHibernate' -t 'bool' -s 'false'

Re: Customize Xfce 4.6 logout dialog

Alternative: Edit xfce-session.xml directly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="xfce4-session" version="1.0">
  <property name="general" type="empty">
    <property name="FailsafeSessionName" type="empty"/>
    <property name="SessionName" type="string" value="Default"/>
    <property name="SaveOnExit" type="bool" value="false"/>
  </property>
  <property name="sessions" type="empty">
    <property name="Failsafe" type="empty">
      <property name="IsFailsafe" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Count" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client0_Command" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client0_PerScreen" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client1_Command" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client1_PerScreen" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client2_Command" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client2_PerScreen" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client3_Command" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client3_PerScreen" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client4_Command" type="empty"/>
      <property name="Client4_PerScreen" type="empty"/>
    </property>
  </property>
  <property name="splash" type="empty">
    <property name="Engine" type="empty"/>
  </property>
  <property name="shutdown" type="empty">
    <property name="ShowHibernate" type="bool" value="false"/>
    <property name="ShowSuspend" type="bool" value="false"/>
  </property>
</channel>

But interestingly that didn't work.:)

Hi guys. Just to make sure: After the 4.6.1 update there's some unwanted letters (xml? html?) above the logout dialog. Can you confirm this? Is this upstream broken or happens only with the customized menu?

I have the same effect without any costumized menu, looks like a little bug. But I hadn't the time yet to care about, I still have to think about a change from kde with kmail and korganizer to xfce with thunderbird3... BTW, Thunderbird3 still isn't able to import *.vcf... and I didn't find an option to make it open doubleclicked Mails in a new tab instead of a new window... Makes the tabs kinda useless...
