tried to use rox whithin xfce4
sorry, but i can not do right mouse click on the desktop
can not undestand it
the default definition for matchbox is RightClick=Fnb+Tap, MiddleClick=Shift+Tap
ok
if i start xfce4, i can only use Shift+Tab to get the DesktopMenu, Fn+Tap does not work
is it a prob of xfce4 or a prob of general definition?
the scripts xinitrc.xfce4 and .xinitrc in my home directory seem to load the same key-definitions from /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap
if i try to use rox in my xfce4-session, Shift+Tap doesn't work, Fn-Tap doesn't work either.

what is the definitiv way to check in a shell, what the mouse-botton mapping is actual?

thanks in advance for your answers

best regards

I can give you an hint about input-config.

I use the two kanji keys between fn and - keys as middle and right click, and everything goes right.

Use the input config tool.
You'll find this option better

@scoutme

thanks a lot, it works well.
however, i would like to know, why the default tab config doesn't work  

another questions:

is there a possibility to assign the pinboards to the workspaces?

is there a possibility to open new (or hidden) pinboard on click on a pinboard icon (for implement a simple navigation)?

could you please post some screenshots of your environment?


thanks in advance

best regards

chero,
 something to note:

When removing the main package (pkg2, since pkg1 doesnt seem to want to uninstall) it took the pixbuf image lib with it, which destroys lots of the other apps.

I don't think you can assign different pinboards to workspaces, since they are implemented as desktop app, that is they are deeper than desktop switching - maybe there's a rox option that I don't know, but I won't bet on it

You can create a script that kills current pinboard and loads another pinboard, and then put it in your pinboards. I used something similar on last RC, when I wanted to switch between matchbox-desktop and rox-pinboard: I put a script killinh rox-pin and launchin mb on the pinboard, and made a script in mb-panel to kill mb and launch rox-pinboard.

Actually, I don't think you 'd be able to use this strategy to change pinboard as fast as when you switch matchbox desktop menu. So think on it as a drastic change of workspace, something you'll use as a sort of user switching.

If I were you, I would use a single pinboard.

Maybe you should think on another desktop manager. I saw a xfce-desktop plugin: I'm going to give it a look, since using a xfce native desktop-manager could be nice, if it has good features (even if using ros pinboard is a good choice when you're using it also as filemanager - drag&drop assured  )

What do you use to get screen shots?

[scoutme]

I gave a look at rox boards, and it seems you can launch more pinboards and switch between them by using the same command you launch them with: in brief, they say that when you type rox -p=FOO for the first time you launch the piboard, while if you type it with the pinboard instance already loaded you simply switch to it (if you were on another piboard).

Give it a try and let us know.

Good luck

I was kinda hoping to see plain old xfce4 + plugins 'n' applets

[scoutme]

I tried different rox pinboards together, as suggested in my previous post... succeded  - it seems that rox pinboards load faster when another pinboard is already loaded

enough fast to be perfectly usable as workspaces switching, especially  if you renounce to backdrops (to make loading even faster).

I`ll contiNue using only one pinboard with a good background, anyway. Hope it will be a soLution for your needs

What's still missing ?
(i know the battery-plugin is)

I hope I can make clean ipkgs of the base system this week, or at last next week.
For the moment I'm trying to find libexo 0.3.1, anyone knows where I could find it ? I'd like to get [a href=\"http://thunar.xfce.org/mockups/benjamin.muskalla/thunar/]thunar[/url] running.

Chero.

I'm preparing a script to install more xfwm themes, like panther and the perfect smallscreen.
Not fatal but gorgeous

Hi,

About thunar :
I contacted the developer.
We'll have to wait a bit, it already looks nice and runs on the Z, but it's not usable in the current state of developement.
It looks promising though.

Hi there!

Ok, got xfce4 installed, i created a new session and it worked.

_but_
a) i can only rightclick on the background to set new Workspaces,
i cant right-click on the panels. (btw, rightclick is still shift+tab)
 i have installed: taskbarplugin, panelmenu, systrayplugin.
But none of them seems to function, the desktop didnt changed. I still
have the taskbar on the Top of the screen, the systrayplugin didnt started
i guess, and the same with the panelmenu.

Do i have to add the apps in the .xinitrc ?
If yes, what do i have to add there?
(i.e. panelmenu& taskbarplugin& systray_plugin& ?)

But so far it looks great and is pretty fast. Im using rox btw.

Greetz,
Nico
