If you run nautilus, it will take over and you will have to re-run xfdesktop if you want it to take back control. I guess the reasoning is that it has no way of knowing which one you want to control the desktop, or way of detecting when something like nautilus is finished.

Maybe this means that the exo mcs Patrice> pluggin has to be enabled and maybe a bit more? I can enable it for Terminal, but exo doesn't have an editor or File manager pref I don't think. In older Xfce they were set to other apps, like openoffice for editor. :( >> I'm not sure if we are going to try and push things in this week >> before fc6 is released, or wait until after fc6 and push them into >> devel and then push them into fc6 later.

The only remaining package needed I think is xfce-dev-tools, which is under review now. (Thats needed for some of the plugins). We are looking at checking in CVS changes tomorrow and then pushing out builds for fc6 on thursday, unless someone comes up with any show stoppers.

I will also try and do some more testing tonight on the updating from the current to the new versions. Patrice> -- Pat kevin
