Hello,
I'd like to propose extending the XFCE-related patterns as in the
attached patch. The intention behind this is to provide a more
useful default installation comparable to what our LXDE desktop
currently provides.
The changes are mostly oriented towards LXDE patterns, rationales
for the choices follow below:
new XFCE-laptop pattern:
provide laptop-specific functionality (currently synaptics
touchpad and bluetooth integration)
gdm:
temporary, until lightdm can run openSUSE session login/logout
scripts, provides additional functionality, most notably
accessibility, multi-user login
libgnomesu:
avoid ugly xterm + su fallback
xdg-utils,
xdg-user-dirs-gtk:
basic functionality, related to XFCE
NetworkManager
NetworkManager-gnome
basic functionality, default on all other DE's
xscreensaver:
basic functionality, particularly locking screen on
suspend/hibernate
epdfview -> evince:
more usable and performant, no significant difference in memory
usage
xfburn
totem
xfce4-volumed
cheese
empathy
transmission-gtk
MozillaThunderbird
patterns-openSUSE-xfce_office
patterns-openSUSE-multimedia
patterns-openSUSE-imaging
patterns-openSUSE-remote_desktop:
feature parity with LXDE (audio/video playback, multimedia keys,
webcam, chatting, torrent, VNC, RDP)
