xfce 2 things

Ok, went from Gnome to xfce but I have 2 issues.

1. When I log out, the launcher changes I have made to the xfce panel on Screen 1 do not remain.  So next time I startup the system I get the panel reverting back to the default post install version.

2. I'm running GDM as my login/session manager.  How can I get xfce to enable shutdown and restart when I want to finish a xfce session from within the xfce desktop logout?

I have read some of the previous info listed here but at the moment it is like piecing a message together from different languages.

Any help really appreciated.

Re: xfce 2 things

I have read the above forum post and it makes no sence at all.  visudo?  what the hell is that?  No sign of it on my system.  Where is it obtained from?

Why is my changes to the panel not saving?  When I relog the panel reverts to the default installed one.

Thanks.

This was a problem with xfce panel 4.2.1. You'll see threads about it both elsewhere on this forum and at the xfce forums. Do a pacman -Syu because there is a newer version of the panel out that apparently you don't have. You should have xfce4-panel 4.2.1.1.

Re: xfce 2 things

Hmmm, ok on the sudo but as for the current version of Panel, I have according to pacman is 4.2.1.1-1.

Very wierd but it doesn't help that my TV is the primary display according to xorg so my login in screen is on my TV which is totally unreadable.  I have tried changing the screens section of my xorg but to no avail.

The joy.  Oneday Nvidia will give is a decent GUI version of nview like they have for windows.  Maybe in 2008.

Re: xfce 2 things

Is your ServerLayout correct?

This is how my xorg.conf is with the monitor as primary Screen.


Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "MonitorTV"
    Screen      0  "MonitorTarga" 0 0
   Screen      1  "TVThomson" LeftOf "MonitorTarga"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

And Section Device


Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NvidiaGeForce4Ti4200"
    Driver      "nvidia"
   Option      "NoLogo"   "true"
   Screen       0
    BusID       "PCI:3:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "NvidiaGeForce4Ti4200TvOut"
   Driver      "nvidia"
   Option      "Nologo"   "true"
   Screen       1
   BusID       "PCI:3:0:0"
EndSection

Re: xfce 2 things

Hi.

1. When I log out, the launcher changes I have made to the xfce panel on Screen 1 do not remain. So next time I startup the system I get the panel reverting back to the default post install version.

I have the same problem here.

This was a problem with xfce panel 4.2.1. You'll see threads about it both elsewhere on this forum and at the xfce forums. Do a pacman -Syu because there is a newer version of the panel out that apparently you don't have. You should have xfce4-panel 4.2.1.1.

It says I have 4.2.2 installed, so this can't be my problem. I use 'startx' to start my desktop and my .xinitrc says 'exec xfce4-session' (all done according to the wiki  big_smile )

Is there perhaps some directory in which settings are saved, I can't find any in my homedir.

Thanks.

Michael

Re: xfce 2 things

Settings are in the new freedesktop standard directory ~/.config/xfce4
