However, I dislike that I need to doubleclick on a XFCE desktop icon in order to activate it. From KDE I am used to single click and even on windows I always configure the desktop to work on single click.
Are you running into other things (Suse wise) to watch out for when running Xfce? -- I mean are you happy with it otherwise? I too am looking for a less bloated environment... but some more features than say twm, or fvwm.
Thanks.
Hi, yes, apart from the oneclick inconsistency, I am perfectly happy.
I used KDE before, still use it and I am still a big fan of KDE, but xfce is much less bloat and a far quicker experience for me, even on a decent machine, much more so on a lower spec computer.
I actually do not miss much there.
I got xfce 4.4 from the suse repos and I would say, it definitely is worth to have a look at. For me, xfce combines favourably the speed of icewm, fvwm, blackbox and the like with a desktop experience that is not very far from behind the "bloated by Definition" Desktops like KDE and Gnome.
I sincerely hope that helpped you to give it a try. ;-) Eberhard
I agree with Eberhard on Xfce! I always had it installed as a backup to KDE rather than use Gnome. It's quite configurable and very fast. KDE programs run fine in it and as far as I can tell you don't lose any functionality using it. If you are looking for something leaner, faster and stable, then I agree, give it a try! bye, pat -- --- KMail 1.95 --- Zenwalk Linux v4.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Gör, eller gör inte.
