But if you're doing a lot of work to make XFCE behave like Gnome 2, then give MATE a try. It's virtually Gnome 2, to start off with. I tried XFCE a long time ago, didn't like it then, but it's probably changed. I had trouble with it and pulseaudio, it wasn't good at auto-mounting, I didn't like that dock that you couldn't get rid of, I disliked the lack of an organised/categorised top-of-screen menu, and the lack of windowing tab bar at the bottom. But, I think the biggest swaying factor for me using MATE, is that most of the programs that I use tend to be gnome, or gnome-centric. So it makes sense to avoid a mish-mash desktop. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
