Hi,
	I just got XFCE4 unstable on debian the packages, didn't compile
anything. It seems to be working good, but i got so many questions and
no answers on the internet, there seems to be a lack of documentation,
so i though maybe i could get help here :

1. Where do i configure the keybindings for the xfce window manager? in
the settings i only got default.keys thing but i can't add new or modify
it. (for example i want CTRL-G to run Galeon, or i want to make gkrelmm
sticky but it dosent have a window border so i cant get the window
manager menu for that window).

2. Is there some sort of "remember session" option as in Enlightenement?
so as to when i restart my X session it would load my gkrellm at the
right spot, and my terminal at the right spot, etc.

3. The xfce4-iconbox dosen't want to work, it runs, says couldn't
connect to a session manager (from what i read thats ok) and it seems to
be running, but there is nothing anywhere on my desktop.
[Lionel] I think this is a Debian bug.  What you need to do is go into
~/.xfce/xf3rc and change the geometry settings I believe.

Hope this helps.
 Olivier: Thanks for the screensaver.
4. Themes, i downloaded the themes packages, and download xftheme, but
when i run in it with the path to my themes, it says that there is no
them in there. Am i doing this the right way?

Other than that this looks like a nice suite of applications, exactly
what i needed since i dont want all the other crap that comes with gnome
or kde. Just make sure you dont forget to keep this desktop nice and
light and stable and fast :) Sometimes it's easy to get carried away
with lots of useless crap.

Thanks for all.
