ah, no, im afraid not.

In the "add New Item"-menu i only have:
-Launcher
-Desktop Switcher
-Graphical Pager
-Seperator
-System Buttons
-Systemtray


I now try a clean reinst of the extra-packages,
just to have something to work with until you post
the next hint

Greetz,
Nico

P.S.: Btw, i just got an error-message that i cant install
the plugins on the SD-Card. Just an issue for the next updates,
i install them in root again.

If those are the only panel-items you have, something went wrong installing the base packages.
I'm working on new (clean) ipkgs, just be patient for a day or two.

I just did the test.

Flashed my Z, installed this ipk to SD, left matchbox, typed startxfce4 and ...

... it works just fine.

There are no docs or locales included in the ipk, just the stuff you need to run xfce4.

I created seperate ipkgs for dev and locales.
I did the same for xffm (seperate ipkgs for locales and program itself)
I also created a seperate ipkg for the notes-pugin and the icontheme.
will post those later (or try to get them in ScottYellich's feed).

Have fun,
Chero.

so... is [the attached file] the one i should be downloading? i had toruble with the 2 part one, hopefully this will be better  

<<edit>>

i have some questions, while i'm at it  

first of all, for those with C1000, to rotate the screen, "xandr -o right &" will do the trick (but has to be repeated each time you restartx XFCE)

my right click somehow got mapped to Fn+Shift, and nothing seems to bring it back. the input setup program does nothing- no matter what it says, the keys stay the same (i wanted it to be the two Kanji keys). Ctrl is marked to Ctrl (why isn't the option for that in the config? it makes asalutely no sense!), and the left Kanji is marked to Alt. Right-shift seems to be middle button, but i'm not sure on that, yet.

any help would be appreciated

I think you need to update startxfce4 and xinitrc.xfce4...
to xInitrc.xfce4 add support of Z C3100 (keyboard layouts):
add betwen 34-th and 35-th line:
Code: [Select]
   SL-C1000|SL-C3000|SL-C3100)
    test -f /etc/X11/kb/akita.xmodmap && xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/akita.xmodmap
;;  

to startxfce4;
replace:
Code: [Select]
defaultserverargs=" -nolisten tcp -kb"
with

Code: [Select]
defaultserverargs=" -nolisten tcp -kb -screen 480x640@270"
For me (on C3100) it detects portrait or landscape mode I'm using (at startup. Maybe becouse I've changed sysclientrc=... to sysclientrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc ).

and after:
Code: [Select]
test -f /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map -a -f /usr/bin/loadkeys && /usr/bin/loadkeys /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.mapI've added:
Code: [Select]
modprobe mousedev >/dev/null 2>/dev/null(maybe unusefull, but I think on C1000 and C3100 with RC12 it'll add support of mouse on startup).

P.S. Maybe it's useful only with C3100 and maybe with C1000... But I think it can be helpful...

Thanks for all these usefull tips, but I thought most people would find them here or in the xfce4-finetuning thread.
I was waiting for the launch of xfce4 4.4.0 to change my ipkgs.
Could you PM me your modified startxfce4 and xintrc - files? I could add them among the other files, just to put it all in the same place.

I'd still love to see gnome on my Z, are there any plans to make include instructions for this anywhere?

You know, all you need for "gnome" is gnome-panel, nautalis, and gnome-volume manager. You start those inside xfce, and if is just like gnome, but faster

(I do it on my desktop)

Y'a know, if you dont need desktop icons, you can just start gnome-panel and it is xfce but with a nicer panel...

Hi there, rather than starting up a new topic, since this one existed. I'm curious. Now that there is proof that KDE works and seems to work well. Any sign of gnome?
