Something strange happens with the DE under XFCE. I have determined that this strangeness results in my difficulty in playing CDs. So I have some questions: Primary Question When I login to an XFCE session on my F15 machine, about half the time it comes up normally. By this I mean that there is a mouse XFCE icon in the middle of the screen. And clicking on the Desktop with my right mouse button brings up the standard XFCE menu. In this state I can play Audio CDs and do the other things one would expect to do. However, half the time a few seconds after the normal screen appears the screen turns to a form of the Gnome 3 display. In the center of the screen is a world icon, the one I chose for my Gnome 3 DE. Right click produces the Gnome 3 menu. However, the top panel is still the panel of XFCE. Audio CD icons do not appear so Audio CDs can't be played. The option under XFCE Preferences that changes the screen icon no longer functions. The bottom XFCE panel also remains. To be completely honest in both forms of DE display the vertical icons of the Gnome3 DE also appear. Should that be? So the real question is why does this second Gnoome3 display appear and how can I stop this from happening? Second Question In both displays at times that last thing that happens when I login is that a display of my home directory appears on the screen. Why is this happening, and only sometimes? Third Question Back to Audio CDs. In order to play them I have to mount them using an option that appears when I click on the Audio CD icon. Why is that? -- ======================================================================= I do desire we may be better strangers. -- William Shakespeare, "As You Like It" ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
