Desktop panning and a nitpick (was Re: How do I disable/modify desktop panning?)

[Ben Hall]

Do you know if there's a way to control how it pans?  I don't use the
pager anymore, and it always seems counter-intuitive that it goes from
desktop 1 to 3 when I pan right.  Counter-intuitive because the Xfce
panel now shows the desktops in order (One Two Three Four.)

Hey, while I'm nit-picking, a friend of mine was using Xfce for the
first time the other day and was perplexed by the logout question "Are
you sure you want Quit?  This might log you off!"  I understand why Xfce
says _might_ log you off (you can use the panel outside of a
gnome-compliant WM, in which case it won't log you off) but this is
probably a very rare case these days.  I explained this to him, and it
was his... suggestion... that the text should be changed to "This will
log you off" or something more definite.  Since probably 99.99% of Xfce
panel users are using it in either xfwm or another Gnome compliant WM, I
thought this made a fair amount of sense.  Perhaps simply "Are you sure
you want to log off?" might be a more appropriate text these days.

Just a suggestion...  (Yeah, that's the best nitpick I could find. 
Great work, Olivier and company.)


Cheers,

Ben


Oh, and by the way, debianplanet.org was also having a WM/desktop poll. 
I voted Xfce, but at last count it wasn't doing so well, be sure to
vote! (though the site seems to be down at the moment.)
