Hi all,
I have my first few days with 4.4 and this is what I have found. Some
of these are actual issues while others are, well, preferences.
First off; When I try and run the web browser from the panel it won't
start up at all. It tries then nothing. If I run in from the xfdesktop
menu it works and if I cut-n-paste "exo-open --launch WebBrowser" into
an xterm it spits out "Error: No running window found" but firebird
starts up fine.
Second; Where is my CDE compatibility?!? The Mofit style is in the
window manager preferences but there's no theme in the user interface
preferences. I realize that this is a trivial or even a non-issue but
one of the things that got me started with xfce 1.x was the CDE
look-n-feel. It was like CDE only better. In addition to the missing
theme, there is no desktop switcher (the one with the big buttons).
Right now I'm running clearlooks-deepsky theme and style curve. It's ok
but it's not what I need.
Olivier, Jas, Benny, et.al. I know that this is a small thing but it's
very big to me. I'm hoping that, this being a beta and all, the things
I need will eventually find there way in. But as a reminder I will
paraphrase Dire Straights and sing...
I want my...
I want my...
I want my CDE.
