Glad to help. Yeah, it's sure an annoyance from the GUI standpoint but as I'm a heavy CLI user, it's not a big deal to me (I _always_ have an xterm open somewhere). I've seen this issue reported to the Xfce group before and they still haven't seemed to fix it. I have no idea why. Perhaps we should sharpen our sticks a bit and poke them a bit more. It's been well over a year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - First Law of Work: - - If you can't get it done in the first 24 hours, work nights. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
