From the article: I also wanted to use the global menu (topmenu) plugin for Xfce, as I've shown you in my tutorial, but I hit a whole slew of problems there.

[SOLVED] NBFC 3rd party systemd services in the default sysvinit session

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and I've been using MX 18 for a few days and must say I'm really enjoying it: this is the most interesting distro I tried in the last couple of years and - well - I installed and used kind of a lot.
