Xfce
Ambiente desktop leggero, utilizza le librerie GTK+ 2 (come GNOME 2) e il window manager Xfwm. Vedere la pgina Wikipedia.
Applet utili
Questi alcuni plugin utili (pacchetti Debian). In Xfce funzionano bene anche alcuni dei plugin KDE.
- xfce4-battery-plugin mostra lo stato della batteria, utile per i portatili.
- xfce4-mixer mixer e icona controllo volume
- network-manager-kde gestione delle connessioni Ethernet, WiFi, ecc. (vedere alternativa WiCD)
- xfce4-xkb-plugin selettore layout tastiera
- xfce4-mount-plugin mostra volumi montati, smonta, ecc.
Configurazione tastiera
Per configurare il tasto compose, ecc. si può agire direttamente sul file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (vedere anche il paragrafo sulla localizzazione):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "true"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch, compose:rwin, eurosign:e"
EndSection
Con versioni più moderne del plugin (ad esempio xfce4-xkb-plugin 0.5.4.3-1+b1 e xfce4 4.8.0.3) è comunque possibile configurare il tasto compose dalle opzioni del plugin.
Shortcut problem with Konsole and other KDE applications
May be there is a bug with Xfce and keyboard layout. With Debian Jessie, Xfce 4.10.1, KDE apps 4:4.11.3-1, if I enable several keyboard layouts, the keyboard shortcuts stop to work (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-N for New Window in Konsole, Ctrl-F for Find in Okular, etc.).
I seems that the order of the layouts causes the bug. Just remove the file $HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml, or remove and re-add the layouts into the Settings ⇒ Keyboard applet.
Missing dialog on logout
It seems that the default configuration for Xfce 4.12 Action Buttons plugin on Debian Stretch is counter-intuitive. The “Logout…” button (notice the three dots ellipsis) is supposed to open a dialog box with the various options: Log Out, Restart, Shut Down, Suspend and Hibernate. But the default setting simply does a logout, returning to the login manager. There is a Show confirmation dialog into Action Buttons properties (right click), but it does not solve the problem.
The program responsible of the action is /usr/bin/xfce4-session-logout, provided by the xfce4-session package.
You must open Settings, Session and Startup and enable the option Prompt on logout.
