One small thing...

Hello again everyone,

Great job on the Beta2 (3), what ever todays cvs would be called.  It keeps getting better and better.  The session manager is very nice Benedikt!!

Now for the "Oh, but..." part.  I was wondering if it would be possible to change the send to menu (right click on title bar) so that it shows the workspace names rather than workspace 1, workspace 2....  I know it is silly, but I often forget what I have on each.  Sending to Apps, Graphics, Devel... would be much more logical.

The second comment is really a question.  I was using the startxfce4 scrip prior to installing the session manager.  I could not get it to read my %HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc file. I was wondering if someone could point out my error.  first I left the taskbar in the /usr/local/etc/xfce4/xinitrc file and commented it out of my local on.  On start up, it was loaded.  I tried renaming the global one so my local copy was the only one.  Well, I got an error "could not find..." and X quit.  I looked at the script and it seems like it should look for and use a local copy first.

Well, now it gets more complicated for me.  I am using the session manager.  Does this still use the xinitrc file?  when I started up via gdm the first time with the session manager installed the taskbar was back, I have it commented out of both local and /usr/local/etc/xfce4/xinitrc files.  Why did it load?  is there a local X config file I can edit for my user that the session mannager uses?

Just some questions.

Thanks again for all the work!!

Philip Dean
