I'd rather like to avoid having to go through a manual setup/configuration of all the option on other machines. Therefore, I'd like to just tar up the configuration files and copy them to other machines. Where doe I find all the necessary config files?

It appears things are in $HOME/.config/xfce4 but I wanted to check whether there are other places that I missed.

Settings are stored under ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/Thunar. Most Xfce applications use xfconf and you can manipluate settings from a script though xfconf-query (vaguely similar to how you'd use gconftool).

Is there a way to run the gnome-system-monitor in the panel? In GNOME it appears that the system monitor has a dual live, as applet and full blown app. I found the XfApplet, but when I add it to my panel and try to configure it, the gnome-system-monitor applet does not show up. I did install the gnome-system-monitor package, but maybe there is some other package that I am not aware of that makes running the system monitor as an applet possible. Any ideas anyone?

Xfapplet only supports Bonobo-based but not the newer DBus-based GNOME applets so its not very useful and has been removed from Factory. The CPU-Graph plugin can draw graphs like the gnome-system-monitor applet, if you want to monitor memory, swap and network traffic as well you need to install xfce4-panel-plugin-systemload and xfce4-panel-plugin-netload. Unfortunately they can only display bars and not graphs.

And the "best" for last, although this is kind of cheese I know. Can I run compiz with XFCE? I have gotten quite used to the wobbly windows and the desktop cube, and some other silly effects that I like.

Yes, you can use any other window manager in place of xfwm4. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help@opensuse.org
