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 counterintuitive. 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.
