Can't move launchers in XFCE panels

In XFCE, if I right-click on a launcher and click move, everything on both my panels (dual-head) goes ghosted.  If I click a location where I want the launcher, it shows the animation where it "moves back" and leaves the move mode, much like if I did something illegal.  Why is it doing this?

I don't have a solution, but the panel behaves strangely here too... I can move a launcher to some places but not others; also one applet moved by itself once and then disappeared on the next boot. :-}
Hopefully Xfce 4.8 will work better.
Edit: single-screen here.

  • Can I move the in-focus panel to the "back", so that new windows/dialogs appear in front of it?

    Hey,
     I'm currently trying to implement this vi ( http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=157121&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 ) into a folder selection sequence of my main GUI. The problem I am having, however, is that the dialog created by the .vi (which itself is just a call to an associated .dll) is showing up behind my GUI. If the user is attentive enough to notice the new window showing up in his taskbar and clicks on it to bring it to the front, then everything is fine. I'd prefer, though, that the dialog showed up in front of my GUI.
    I can't seem to replicate this quickly in a simple .vi. It might be an issue of Vista [dev machine] versus XP [application machine], or built application versus IDE, or or or...
    If there's a way to programmatically change windows focus, or "send current window to the back", that would probably solve the problem.
    If not, I can try harder to replicate the issue in a simple VI and upload it.

    As long as you make the calling vi front panel window the owner of the dialogue box, it should always stay in front of it's owning window until it is dismissed.

  • MythTV and XFCE Panel

    Does anybody know how I can make MythTV run above XFCE Panel?  It stays on top when I watch TV full screen and if I use the panel it normally makes the whole computer freeze.  I've tried the auto-hide but if I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to activate the panel, it all crashes again.

  • [Solved] Can't modify Xfce panel properties

    Hi,
    I have a shiny new and clean Archlinux install, 32bit with Xfce, but I can not modify the panel properties. Both the Size, Length Alpha, Opacity Enter and Leave values are stock at zero and I can't move the slider up. Can somebody help me fix it?
    Thank you!

  • Can I have window previews with Docky? Or even the native XFCE Panel?

    In Windows 7, hovering over the window icon buttons will show the preview for the window, is that  possible in Docky/XFCE Panel's Windows Button?

    Here's some more info, in case anyone has any ideas.
    I tried reinstalling the Flip4Mac Safari plug-in and Windows Media Player. Still doesn't work.
    With WMP, I can cut and past the Netflix preview into the player and it will play, but I can't get it to start automatically.
    With QuickTime, even if I cut and paste the URL into it, I get an error: Alert Invalid URL.
    Any idea how I can get these preview to play automatically?
    Thanks!

  • Can't move the beans in the Panel

    After I create a new applet and drop 3rd party beans to on the applet, I noticed that I can't move around the beans. on the panel area. It just stucks in one place and depending on the text labels, it rearranges itself. But, I want certain textfields in certain places according to the requirements. It's possible in Visual Cafe, why not in JDeveloper 3.1.1.2?
    Anybody care to comment or just happy with JDeveloper's GUI manipulation?

    I set the layout to null and it worked. But, is that the workaround anyway?

  • Can I move the Toolbox and Menu panels in Elements 12 Editor to suit my workflow?[was: Peter London]

    Can I move the Toolbox and Menu panels in Elements 12 Editor to one side when the monitor (1920x1080, 16:9) is in the lanscape position, and to the bottom when the monitor is rotated to the vertical position, so that I can work on the largest image possible?

    I think you can .
    1. Use extended monitor.
    2. Open Photoshop Elements. Make sure following option is checked:
    Edit>Preferences>General: Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode
    3. Create a new floating document and drag it to the second monitor.
    Start working on the first monitor(having PSE) with canvas on second monitor....
    I hope this is what you wanted?

  • Organize XFCE panel !

    Hi,
    It seems very stupid but I really can't organize my XFCE panel how I want to... My top panel takes all the width of my screen and all the elements are stuck on the left whereas I would like only launchers on the left with XFCE menu and the time with systray on the right.
    But when I try to move the elements to the right, they immediately come back to the left (they are not locked) !
    I hope my explanation is clear ... If you could help me...

    Right-click the panel and add a new object. Choose a spacer (I hope that's the right term, my Xfce is German), let it expand and place systray and clock right to it.

  • [SOLVED] XFCE Panel Icons

    Does anyone know why my panel icons are black?
    Like such: http://i.imgur.com/rhaLd.png
    I haven't migrated from any other DE, this started happening after I enabled Compiz on startup(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … icon.22.29).
    Any ideas on how to set them to white, or use the icon set from the Xubuntu panel?
    Thanks in advance.
    SOLVED: Elementary Xubuntu icon theme installed, needed to specify "Elementary Xubuntu Dark" vs "Elementary Xubuntu".

    You can't actually move stuff freely in XFCE panels; moving only changes the order of things.  You have to use separators (which can be invisible and have the option to expand) to get stuff in particular places.  I have eight invisible separators on my panel, and the 'Window Buttons' item expands to fill all free space, allowing me to place things on the 'end' of my panel.

    That's what you think.  I have a lot of brain storms when I've had a few (not all 12).
    And my parents are passed.  So I guess I need to ask my wife for a hug (however, she is at work).
    I want a hug now, not after 6pm. 
    Anyway, I think, that you can move the panel if you uncheck the "lock panel" option. I just accidentally figured that out. Should have known the answer was something simple
    I did un-check the 'lock panel' box, and couldn't move that top bar (upon using the default).
    So as a I said, I removed both of the newly created panels, and redid them from scratch.

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • Can't move Raw images in Lightroom 4

    Hi all,
    I've watched all of the tutorials and read all I can to get to the bottom of this to no avail. I understand that I need to use the foilders panel in the library module to move photos, my problem is that the folder module does not show any destination folders at all!
    When I import my images I create a job and place the images in a subfolder named Raw Files eg.  2013 Jobs > 075 Robert and Jess E-Shoot > Raw Files
    This way all of my images are in a folder that is job related. Occasionally, however, I will forget to change the import folder when importing the Raws, and the images for the next job will go into the Raw folder for the previous job. I'd like to be able to move the raw images to the correct folder, but in the folder panel the only path showing is the path I've imported to.
    In the case above, my 2013 Jobs file should show 75 subfolders of individual jobs, but there is only one showing. I need to be able to see the destination folder in lightroom to move the Raws to their proper home. As I can't see the destination folder I can't move any files, and I end up having to try to work it out in the operating system.
    Can anyone tell me how to get all of the subfolders to show?
    Thanks, Antony

    Create the folder here:
    Then you can move your files to it.

    Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
    You can check your USB drivers this way:
    Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
    Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
    Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
    Click on the Driver tab
    Click on the Driver Details button
    You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
    So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
    From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
    Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
    Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
    Hope this helps someone.
