Could you please make a package from the rox apps into a Rox-desktop group.

Re: [Req] Rox-desktop

Is there a difference from the rox package in extra?

# pacman -S rox

Yeah rox desktop is a kind of a wm/de replacement built around the rox file roller. Looks interesting in regard of useability but provides an own kind of update mechanism.

?? it says right there in the Description:   "A small and fast file manager which can optionally manage the desktop background and panels."

just killall whatever app that manages your background now, and then run rox -with-the-appropriate-options. Believe me, the desktop IS included, the are just called the same: rox.
