9.10 upgrade changed my desktop from gnome to xfce

[drew einhorn]

I'm sure xfce is very nice environment once you get used to it.

But I know where stuff was in gnome and really don't want to
spend all my time looking for where it now is in xfce.

How do I change it back?

Just logout, and at the login window choose gnome from the session  
choices before loging back in. I'm not sure exactly which menu it is  
it, but it should be easy to find.

Hello,

I am using Thunderbird. I am saving a lot of important incoming
e/m in various folders. Hope to eventually be able to save them
but don't want to have to save them individually. In the meanwhile
I would like to back up the Thunderbird folders. What are they
saved to?

Thanks

It’s a hidden file so you will have to switch 'view hidden files' on in  
nautilus

Hi Thomas,

All you need to do is back up the .mozilla-thunderbird directory and thats it.

And this has what to do with the original "9.10 upgrade changed my
desktop from gnome to xfce" thread?

*Please* do not hijack existing threads[1], please just start one of
your own. Same for others that reply to a hijacked thread... why reply
when you know that someone has done this?
