Ok, Kde Works; What About Gnome?

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

a) change via pdaxrom input-config.py the middle and right button mapping to the two kanji keys
 with the new acquired properly functioning right button click on the panel and select the applets you prefere for your panel

also...
in the terminal killall xftaskbar4 (or similar name), and when you quit remember to save the session, so that at next startxfce4 the taskbar won't be loaded

if you'd like to use your dekstop for icons, consider using rox-pinboard as specified a few posts ago - in that case you should kill also xfce4-desktop (that would be hidden, and useless) - remember to save the session when you change your mind on apps you want to be launched at start

The workspace menu = middle click

To start after a new install :
remove .config and .cache (located in /home/root)
then startxfce4

Hi,

ok, right and middle Mousebutton now functions
(thx to scoutme .

I now could add the "systray-plugin", but all i have is a blank
place in the taskbar. mmmhh, whatever this means, i try it tomorrow
with a reinstall of the plugins.
The Failure must be on my side

Btw, are there dependencies between the packages? I mean that
i have to install the "panelmenu-plugin" before i can install and run the "systray-plugin", for example?

Last Question: Which plugin i need for the clock to be displayed?

Good Night, and thx to Chero for the really great work

About dependencies :
All that is needed by other packages is in the two base packages.

About the systray plugin :
The blank space is normal !! You don't have to reinstall.
Now you've got the systray plugin running, start "battery monitor" (or another applet) located in the accesories-section of the menu. You should get an icon in that "blank space" on the panel. If it doesn't appear, try resizing the panel (panel properties)

About the clock :
It's in the base packages (and it should be running in the default panel). Right click the panel, "add new item", select "Xfce Clock"

Hi again !

Ok, i try it and search for the batteryapplet (never started it manually before  )

But i can say now that i dont have the "xfce clock" in the add items menu.

The clock wasnt started with the base panel as well.

Im out of time now, so the problems have to wait.
Thx for your help.

Greetz,
Nico

EDIT: i cant add new things in the systray, if i do a right-click on the
empty space i only have "systray" on the top of the popup-menu, but grayed
out so that i cant click it. (the other points are "properties", "Remove", "Add new item")

@ Sam Hell :
Don't right click on the systray, but on the desktop
You should get the menu.
From the menu select "Battery Monitor", located in "accesories"

BTW:
Anyone interested in themes for the window-manager ?

the systray looks white when you launch pdaxrom applets because they are bigger than the panel; you have to change the panel size to middle, launch the applets you like, and then resize thge panel.
If you launch gaim, and enable the systray plugin, you'll have another test.

ok, then we located the problem.

If i rightclick on the desktop, nothing happens.
If i do the middle-click on the desktop, the "Workspace-menu" appears.

Right-Click everywhere else functions, but not on the desktop... piuh...
what can this be?
And thats why i cant resize the panel, and cant use the systrayplugin
till now i would guess

(btw., i put left & rightclick on the kanji-buttons as scoutme said)

edit:
nevermind

though... a). my 6 doesn't have kanji keys
. "python input-config.py" gives a no such file error
c). fn doesn't map right click.

I'm kinda lost about fixing this on a 6k.  I assume it is because I don't know where input-config is?

it's the Input Setup you normally find in pdaXrom. Maybe not included in 6000 setup?

Ah.  thought it was either an app to be called from a prompt or something xfce4 specific.

shift works ok on that keyboard/screen layout, though, I guess.

thanks.

along those lines, though. in mbox on my 6k my "menu" external key opens a menu. in xfce it does nothing. this is handled byt the input settings in mbox, right?  why doesn't it carry over?  or is it that it loads an mbox app that doesn't exist in xfce?  in which case the thing is how to get it to pop up a (desktop right click) menu in xcfe? or to get that app to open in xfce?

Can you add "xfce menu" to the panel ?

This can give you the same menu as the desktop.

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.
