Actually, there is no such thing as "iconify to systray", it's a
trick, the application unmaps its window itself and adds its icon to
the systray (unlike real iconification which is standard, and managed
by the window manager).

When the window is shaded, the window manager sets the property
NET_WM_STATE_SHADED, unmaps the app window and displays only the title
bar.

Maybe that confuses the application because the app window itself is
unmapped when shaded, and therefore confuses the application logic for
iconify in systray.

Cheers,
Olivier,

Ah so it's up to the application itself to govern? Interesting.. perhaps
I need to file some feature requests with apps I use. ;)

The window manager does not control the icons in the notification area;
the applications do. Pidgin controls what happens when one clicks on the
pidgin icon, Rhythmbox when one clicks on the Rhythmbox icon, etc.

> But if you shade the window first and then try to minimize to the

Looking at the Rhythmbox source code, it appears that when one clicks
the notification icon, it decides whether to show or hide the window by
checking the window state flags like so:
state & (GDK_WINDOW_STATE_WITHDRAWN | GDK_WINDOW_STATE_ICONIFIED)

Well the panel plugin is called the notification area. Apps such as
Pidgin, Rhythmbox, etc use it to be minimized to an icon sometimes.
Typically to minimize applications to the notification area you can just
click the icon (as with Pidgin).

But if you shade the window first and then try to minimize to the
notification area, nothing happens.

Sorry I do not understand your description of the problem.

Iconification and shading are different things, while notification
area is yet a totally different topic which has nothing to do with the
window manager itself (although, admitedly, I am not even sure what
you call notification area actually).

Could you please clarify?

XFwm4 shade + notification area

2009-12-18T22:23:51Z

I'm not sure if this is a "bug" technically or a disagreement in spec
implementation but it's extremely annoying how odd things get when you
shade something and then try to send it back to the notification area.

IMHO it should immediately get minimized to the notification area and
when you un-minimize it, it should be un-shaded also.

Mike,

The following has worked for me in the past:

1) In a terminal run: "xfce-panel &" to start the panel in the
background.

2) From the Menu, go to "Sessions and Startup" in the xfce settings
manager. On the advance tab select the option to remember current
session. This should cause the panel to automatically start in new
sessions.

HTH,

Tom Ashley

I'm getting the following error 38 times in .xsesion-errors when I
start up xfce (on xubuntu 9.10):-

** (xfwm4:17549): CRITICAL **: getBoolValue: assertion `G_VALUE_TYPE(rc[i].value) == G_TYPE_BOOLEAN' failed

Is this anything to worry about? Can I fix it?

I've tried deleting my ~/.config/xfce4 directory and that has no

It was working fine just the other day.

What is midori?
===============

A lightweight web browser based on WebKitGTK+, for Unix, Windows, Maemo
and other platforms. Several extensions provide advanced functionality
such as advertisement blocking, cookie management, userscripts or mouse
gestures.

Website:
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/midori

Release notes for 0.2.2
=======================

Time for Midori 0.2.2.

Bookmarks can be imported from Opera, Arora, Kazehakase, Epiphany and
other browser using XBEL. The XBEL support was improved in terms of
performance and compatibility with other applications.

Colourful Tabs now work in combination with the Tab Panel. Delete
Private data includes Web Cache which it didn't before. And if you have
a small screen or mobile device, Open panels in separate windows can be
useful. Correct ordering of History and Trash were fixed. The Shortcuts
dialogue display issues were fixed.

The options 'Show in toolbar' and 'Open as web app' were implemented for
bookmarks. So you can selectively decide what bookmarks or folders to
have in the bookmarkbar. And if you mark them as 'web app' bookmarks
open in a separate process.

Several improvements related to portability and compatibility were
applied, for Hildon and Win32. Build fixes for certain Glib and GTK+
versions were applied. libnotify is now a build-time dependency.

As always, look at the ChangeLog for more details.

I downloaded the slim-1.3.1 fedora 11 soucecode. According to your
suggestions, slim-1.3.1 login-cmd first launch ~/.xinitrc, otherwise,
launch Xserver default X11/xinitrc. It is awful to define
respectively .xinitrc for each user. I think global script that may be
a wonderful choice. I make a slim-1.3.1-xfce4.patch. It works fine.
Thanks for all the appreciatively suggestions :-).

The slim-dynwm script doesn't work properly, you need to make xfce your
default session by adding

PREFERRED=/usr/bin/startlxde

to /etc/sysconfig/desktop. No need for F1 after that.

You would need to have a valid .xinitrc. See attached.

You may need to configure the session in /etc/slim.conf. You may want to
contact slim list instead of Xfce one, too.

In /etc there is a directory for configuring slim.

slim can not login xfce4

2009-12-13T21:19:54Z

Installed slim by the way of fedora RPM tools yum, but it couldn't
login in xfce4 desktop in the case that I selected XFCE4 as the
default session through press F1. The login screen go back to ask
me once input username and password. It seem that slim installation
disability to configure login manager.

So, how can I figure it out manually. Thanks a lot.

Hey,

That's not too hard, you have two options:

1) Wait one or two weeks to get the next stable release of
xfce4-screenshooter
2) Compile current git version

I implemented this some time ago, so no need to file a bug report ^^

Cheers,

Jérôme

xfce-screenshooter-plugin code change

2009-12-13T03:50:40Z

When you use the screenshooter plugin, the default file that it will be
saved as s "Screenshot.png". If that is used, it is "Screenshot-1.png"

The code for this is in screenshooter-dialogs.c

I have two questions:
1) What would be the code to turn it into "Screenshot.20091213-1344.png"
2) Would people be interested in this in general, so would it be
interesting to file a bugreport and request it to be implemented.

I know I want it, but that does not mean other people want it as well for
whatever reason.

.Xdefaults -> Xfce4 Terminal conversion?

2009-12-12T23:14:33Z

I have a long used and loved collection of .Xdefaults files and I was
wondering if there was a simple way to convert them to use with
Xfce4-terminal without having to continually do it with the GUI picker?
