I've just check my installation and it returns version 0.9.3.1 .... And 
that's the latest on xfce-goodies!!! HUMM!

Thanks alot... That did the job!
...and yes... That's a very simple way for configuring things... right 
after that, it's GUI-time!

Me too!... If every component could be localized, there would be much 
more people using them!!! (And since i would love to distribute an XFCE4 
only system, with gnome and kde libs... I can't do it with so much 
english-only goodies!)

Thanks again Jasper! Your were of great help for me!

I was following the project a couple months before and after XFCE4 first 
release... But i'm always torn appart between Gnome and XFCE! :'(   

I love XFCE simplicity but missed some of Gnome utilities 
(configuration, etc..). I don't think we absolutely need desktop icons 
but a file manager like Nautilus (with browser only navigation) that 
have the xffm network browsing capability... Since Nautilus can now show 
the mount points with "My Computer", it's near the functionnalities of 
xffm... And i experience many bugs with xffm related to drag & drop 
(xffm window closing...).

Ti-Paul.
