I am familiar with that site. Have downloaded a few themes that suited me but not the whole tarball.

I'm just about caught up on a never-ending video project so may have some time to explore gkrellm themes soon.

I haven't touched any kind of computer game in years, and I don't mind at all if a distro doesn't include any games by default. That being said, LBreakout2 was one I did play! And, I probably would have liked Chromium BSU, too, even though the only reason I've known of its existence was because of having confused it with the Chromium web browser. :happy:

Just discovered that the transparent skins work on my squeeze/gnome/compiz setup but not on wheezy/xfce. I'm guessing GeForce 8400 GS vs GEForce MX 4000 might be the difference? Here it is working on squeeze - Desktop and with browser open:

Hope I'll eventually be able to getting it working on xfce (using a different wallpaper though).

Sometimes XFCE is very slow to start on LiveCD in VirtualBox

Normally with beta-2, XFCE takes about 15 seconds to start but sometimes it can take minutes. During the longer delay I get a black bg and a white bar where the panel will be. There is a flickering rectangle of about 10 x 10 or 20 x 20 pixels near the bottom of the white bar at the border with the black bg, perhaps near where the volumeicon is supposed to appear.

This time when it happened, I thought to switch to a vt and run htop. I saw there was 100% cpu utilization. The nm-applet (network manager) program was using most of it, followed by volumeicon. It broke out of whatever loop it was stuck in when I switched back to vt-7. Then XFCE completed its startup and cpu usage went down to near zero.

I'd guess this happens on about 10% of my boots, maybe less. It has happened at least 3 or 4 times.

What is the latest rumor concerning B3?

Anyone care to start one??

I still cannot get Samba to function--even partially.

It is not only virus-resistant, it actually seeks them out and kills them!

I am ready for b3, all done and set up with b2 now where my demands are concerned, just some minor issues. :happy: Just one big thing to sort out for me, but hopefully b3 will fix that. :smile:



Mind.. how do I find out the xfce version on this system? I have googled but xfce4-about won't work and the package cannot be found in synaptic.
