[SOLVED] urxvt vi-style movement binds?

Hey guys,
I'm trying out rxvt-unicode-256color and while I like it so far, one thing I do miss over bash is the vi mode. I don't require the full editing power of the command mode, but I wouldn't mind binding alt+j and alt+k for scrolling through the buffer, or any other modifier for that matter. Any .Xdefaults gurus help a hopelessly vi-movement addicted guy out?

'Free' advice, zsh has vi-mode as well but I can't stand that its vi and not vim .
Please mark the thread solved.

[SOLVED] urxvt colors and moc theme

Hello!
I am a KDE user and usually i am using Konsole. For some applications (like htop and moc) i use urxvt (patched version from AUR). The problem is in colors. When i launch moc in Konsole the theme colours are right but not in urxvt too. That happens with htop also. URxvt doesn't follow theme backrground color (uses its own) and foreground colors too.
Here is my .Xresource file:

Moc config file:
# This is a configuration file for the MOC player. It should be named
# 'config' and placed in the ~/.moc directory. As this file can specify
# commands which invoke other applications, MOC will refuse to start if it
# is not owned by either root or the current user, or if it is writable by
# anyone other than its owner. All options are given with their default
# values, and therefore commented.
# Comments begin with '#'.
# You can use quotes and escape ('\') in parameters.
# You can have variable values substituted by enclosing the variable name
# as "${...}". (This only applies to the portion of the option following
# the ' ='.) Variables are substituted first from the environment then,
# if not found, from the configuration options. (Note that the value of
# a configuration option substituted is that which it has at the time the
# substitution variable is encountered.) If there is a naming conflict
# between an environment and configuration variable, you may be able to
# resolve it by using lowercase as the environment variable matches are
# case-sensitive whereas the configuration variables are not.
# You can also use the form "${...:-...}" where the value in the second
# position will be substituted if the variable name given in the first
# position is unset or null.
# So, for example:
# MusicDir = /music/${USER:-public}
# Fastdir1 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rock
# Fastdir2 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/electronic
# Fastdir3 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rap
# Fastdir4 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/etc
# Variable names are limited to those accepted by the BASH shell; that
# is, those comprising the upper- and lowercase ASCII characters, digits
# and the underscore.
# If you need to use the "${" sequence for any other purpose, write "$${"
# and it will be replaced by "${" and not treated as a substitution.
# Some options take lists of strings as their values. The strings are
# separated by colons. Additional strings can be appended to the list
# using "+ =" in place of a plain "=" to assign the value. For an example,
# see the XTerms option.
# You can override any configuration option when you run MOC using the
# '-O' command line option:
# mocp -O AutoNext =no -O messagelingertime=1 -O XTerms+=xxt:xwt
# This command line option can be repeated as many times as needed and
# the configuration option name is not case sensitive. (Note that MOC
# does not perform variable substitution on the value of such overridden
# configuration options.) Most option values are set before the
# configuration file is processed (which allows the new values to be
# picked up by substitutions), however list-valued options are overridden
# afterwards (which gives the choice of whether the configured values are
# replaced or added to).
# Remember that the client and server are separate processes and the
# server will retain the configuration values formed from the environment
# within which it was originally started.

# PreferredDecoders allows you to specify which decoder should be used
# for any given audio format. It is a colon-separated list in which
# each entry is of the general form 'code(decoders)', where 'code'
# identifies the audio format and 'decoders' is a comma-separated list
# of decoders in order of preference.
# The audio format identifier may be either a filename extension or a
# MIME media type. If the latter, the format is 'type/subtype' (e.g.,
# 'audio/flac'). Because different systems may give different MIME
# media types, any 'x-' prefix of the subtype is ignored both here and
# in the actual file MIME type (so all combinations of 'audio/flac' and
# 'audio/x-flac' match each other).
# For Internet streams the matching is done on MIME media type and on
# actual content. For files the matches are made on MIME media type
# (if the 'UseMimeMagic' option is set) and on filename extension. The
# MIME media type of a file is not determined until the first entry for
# MIME is encountered in the list.
# The matching is done in the order of appearance in the list with any
# entries added from the command line being matched before those listed
# here. Therefore, if you place all filename extension entries before
# all MIME entries you will speed up MOC's processing of directories
# (which could be significant for remote file systems).
# The decoder list may be empty, in which case no decoders will be used
# for files (and files with that audio format ignored) while Internet
# streams will be assessed on the actual content. Any decoder position
# may contain an asterisk, in which case any decoder not otherwise listed
# which can handle the audio format will be used. It is not an error to
# list the same decoder twice, but neither does it make sense to do so.
# If you have a mix of audio and non-audio files in your directories, you
# may wish to include entries at top of the list which ignore non-audio
# files by extension.
# In summary, the PreferredDecoders option provides fine control over the
# type of matching which is performed (filename extension, MIME media
# type and streamed media content) and which decoder(s) (if any) are used
# based on the option's list entries and their ordering.
# Examples: aac(aac,ffmpeg) first try FAAD2 for AACs then FFmpeg
# mp3() ignore MP3 files
# wav(*,sndfile) use sndfile for WAV as a last resort
# ogg(vorbis,*):flac(flac,*) try Xiph decoders first
# ogg():audio/ogg() ignore OGG files, and
# force Internet selection by content
# gz():html() ignore some non-audio files
# Any unspecified audio formats default to trying all decoders.
# Any unknown (or misspelt) drivers are ignored.
# All names are case insensitive.
# The default setting reflects the historical situation modified by
# the experience of users.
#PreferredDecoders = aac(aac,ffmpeg):m4a(ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += mpc(musepack,*,ffmpeg):mpc8(musepack,*,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += sid(sidplay2):mus(sidplay2)
#PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile,*,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += wv(wavpack,*,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += audio/aac(aac):audio/aacp(aac):audio/m4a(ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += audio/wav(sndfile,*)
# The following PreferredDecoders attempt to handle the ambiguity surrounding
# container types such as OGG for files. The first two entries will force
# a local file to the correct decoder (assuming the .ogg file contains Vorbis
# audio), while the MIME media types will cause Internet audio streams to
# be assessed on content (which may be either Vorbis or Speex).
#PreferredDecoders += ogg(vorbis,ffmpeg):oga(vorbis,ffmpeg):ogv(ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += opus(opus,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += spx(speex)
#PreferredDecoders += application/ogg(vorbis):audio/ogg(vorbis)
# Which resampling method to use. There are a few methods of resampling
# sound supported by libresamplerate. The default is 'Linear') which is
# also the fastest. A better description can be found at:
# http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsamplerate/api_misc.html#Converters
# but briefly, the following methods are based on bandlimited interpolation
# and are higher quality, but also slower:
# SincBestQuality - really slow (I know you probably have an xx GHz
# processor, but it's still not enough to not see
# this in the top output :) The worst case
# Signal-to-Noise Ratio is 97dB.
# SincMediumQuality - much faster.
# SincFastest - the fastest bandlimited interpolation.
# And these are lower quality, but much faster methods:
# ZeroOrderHold - really poor quality, but it's really fast.
# Linear - a bit better and a bit slower.
#ResampleMethod = Linear
# Always use this sample rate (in Hz) when opening the audio device (and
# resample the sound if necessary). When set to 0 the device is opened
# with the file's rate.
#ForceSampleRate = 0
# By default, even if the sound card reports that it can output 24bit samples
# MOC converts 24bit PCM to 16bit. Setting this option to 'yes' allows MOC
# to use 24bit output. (The MP3 decoder, for example, uses this format.)
# This is disabled by default because there were reports that it prevents
# MP3 files from playing on some soundcards.
#Allow24bitOutput = no
# Use realtime priority for output buffer thread. This will prevent gaps
# while playing even with heavy load. The user who runs MOC must have
# permissions to set such a priority. This could be dangerous, because it
# is possible that a bug in MOC will freeze your computer.
#UseRealtimePriority = no
# The number of audio files for which MOC will cache tags. When this limit
# is reached, file tags are discarded on a least recently used basis (with
# one second resolution). You can disable the cache by giving it a size of
# zero. Note that if you decrease the cache size below the number of items
# currently in the cache, the number will not decrease immediately (if at
# all).
#TagsCacheSize = 256
# Number items in the playlist.
#PlaylistNumbering = yes
# Main window layouts can be configured. You can change the position and
# size of the menus (directory and playlist). You have three layouts and
# can switch between then using the 'l' key (standard mapping). By default,
# only two layouts are configured.
# The format is as follows:
# - Each layout is described as a list of menu entries.
# - Each menu entry is of the form:
# menu(position_x, position_y, width, height)
# where 'menu' is either 'directory' or 'playlist'.
# - The parameters define position and size of the menu. They can
# be absolute numbers (like 10) or a percentage of the screen size
# (like 45%).
# - 'width' and 'height' can have also value of 'FILL' which means
# fill the screen from the menu's position to the border.
# - Menus may overlap.
# You must describe at least one menu (default is to fill the whole window).
# There must be at least one layout (Layout1) defined; others can be empty.
# Example: Layout1 = playlist(50%,50%,50%,50%)
# Layout2 = ""
# Layout3 = ""
# Just one layout, the directory will occupy the whole
# screen, the playlist will have 1/4 of the screen size
# and be positioned at lower right corner. (Note that
# because the playlist will be hidden by the directory
# you will have to use the TAB key to make the playlist
# visible.)
# Example: Layout1 = playlist(0,0,100%,10):directory(0,10,100%,FILL)
# The screen is split into two parts: playlist at the top
# and the directory menu at the bottom. Playlist will
# occupy 10 lines and the directory menu the rest.
#Layout1 = directory(0,0,50%,100%):playlist(50%,0,FILL,100%)
#Layout2 = directory(0,0,100%,100%):playlist(0,0,100%,100%)
#Layout3 = ""
# When the song changes, should the menu be scrolled so that the currently
# played file is visible?
#FollowPlayedFile = yes
# What to do if the interface was started and the server is already playing
# something from the playlist? If CanStartInPlaylist is set to 'yes', the
# interface will switch to the playlist. When set to 'no' it will start
# from the last directory.
#CanStartInPlaylist = yes
# Executing external commands (1 - 10) invoked with key commands (F1 - F10

# Data from tags can also be substituted:
# %t - title
# %a - album
# %r - artist
# %n - track
# %m - time of the file (in seconds)
# The parameters above apply to the currently selected file. If you change
# them to capital letters, they are taken from the file currently playing.
# Programs are run using execv(), not a shell, so you can't do things like
# redirecting the output to a file. The command string is split using blank
# characters as separators; the first element is the command to be executed
# and the rest are its parameters, so if you use "echo Playing: %I" we run
# program 'echo' (from $PATH) with 2 parameters: the string 'Playing:' and
# the title of the file currently playing. Even if the title contains
# spaces, it's still one parameter and it's safe if it contains `rm -rf /`.

I read wiki but didn't find anything useful. Thanks for any info.

3d3d3d is for red but you have a blackish and color2 is for green but you have it white the rest should be the default colors. it uses the same colors only it changes the vairiant of the color you choice there or normally moc uses colors such as green blue and such which will call your console colors for those respective fields I know moc has /user/share/moc/themes/ that you can edit or make your own for instance copy one and edit it. I think htop uses the same color count which is 8 but with so green will be white when you use urxvt. 8 for normal colors 16 for bright dark and urxvt is 256 which is 16 but can use any of the 256 colors for 16.
just to clarify you have commented out your colors 4-15 and your green and red is weird, and htop aswell as moc is 8 bit. moc theme_yellow_red is default for background so it will use urxvts background
Haahaha, that is simple. And it works!!!
I didn't bother with commenting that because i thought they are not applied. Anyway, thanks man. My urxvt terminal si grateful to you and your thorough explanation. SOLVED!

Hollywood style movie trailers

I recently bought a new iMac and installed Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. I played around with the Premiere elements a bit and there was a feature (I think under THEMES) that allowed you to create a Hollywood style movie trailer complete with orchestra music. There were several different themes: action movie, drama, etc.
My Mac O/S crashed a few weeks later (I had purchased open box). Best Buy told me to uninstall all my software and bring in the computer to exchange it for a new one. I did this. When I reinstalled the software I can no longer see this MOVIE TRAILER feature. I tried to google info about it and it seems it does not even exist. Can anyone tell me how I can get this feature on my Premiere Elements 10 again? Was it just a sample and I have to pay to upgrade? When I search the "what's new in elements 10" it does not even have any mention of it.
So confused.

I am using the install disk (disk 5) again now. I had previously downloaded the content from a link online. It was about 3.41g and took 5 hours to download. When I had installed it on my first computer I only used the disk. So that might be the problem. I might have gotten a different version of "content" from the download than what is available on the disk. I am running the disk now so will it overwrite the downloaded content?

HT1338 Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install. Anyone else have that problem? How do i solve? Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install. Anyone else have that problem? How do i solve? Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5.
And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not.
Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs.

[SOLVED] urxvt/console spanish characters

i didn't bother with this "issue" i have, because rarely i type something in spanish (my native language) in urxvt, but lately i had to use msn a lot, (yeah i hate it too, but here people use that... and facebook) so, i have to use a lot the "n" and "a,e,i,o,u" characters, the thing is, i have no problem in X apps typing those characters as you can see, but in console and urxvt i can see the "a,e,i,o,u" characters, but i cannot type them, for example, if a text file has them, i can see them in vim, but im not able to type them, but the "n" character i cannot see neither in console nor urxvt, cant see it and cannot type it, only a "?" when it is displayed...

[SOLVED] urxvt + screen + zsh, title is not displayed correctly

I use urxvt and screen inside it. The screen's title is set up to display the current program and the window number. However after changing from bash to zsh, it always display "zsh" instead of "vim" or "top" which is currently running.
my screenrc:

I have

in my .screenrc. Maybe there's something you like even better, e.g. there's also "^EH" which I used to use. Just checkout what can be done with defhstatus, you'll find what you want.

[Solved] URXVT cannot display Japanese Characters

Solved:
I had a typo in my locale.conf, setting to an invalid locale - apparently that did it.
Thanks for the help!
Hi everybody!
I just now re-installed Arch because I switched hard-drives (to an SSD) and everything seems to be working again, apart from one thing:
urxvt doesn't display Japanese Characters, just questionmarks instead when using ls and garbage characters otherwise.
I literally copied and pasted my ~/.Xresources from my old install, so I'm not quite sure what went wrong.
This is said file:

I already tried re-installing the fonts and I also tried out alternative fonts, but nothing seems to work.
All the other settings from the ~/.Xresources file are applied perfectly, so I'm not quite sure where to look for the error.
My browser (dwb) displays japanese characters just fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Edit: I just realized that urxvt seems to completely ignore the fonts line - I had that problem once before, when I used the AMD Catalyst driver and not the open source one.
I now have an Nvidia card and started using the propietary driver - maybe that has something to do with it?

What's the output of 'localectl'?

[SOLVED] urxvt not using locale

Help! I am stuck here.
For the life of me I cannot find a reason why urxvt won't use my locale.
Output of locale
LANG=en_DK.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_DK.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_DK.utf8"

Output of locale -a
C
POSIX
en_DK
en_DK.iso88591
en_DK.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
Whenever I try to start urxvt from a(nother) terminal I get
urxvt: the locale is not supported by Xlib, working without locale support.
I have tried using both en_DK.utf8 and en_US.utf8. Neither works for me. (I would prefer en_DK.utf8)
If I set the locale to C, then I don't get the error message. However I also don't get the filenames displayed correctly then.
Anyone know what I can do?
I am using lxde with openbox. Don't know if that makes a difference.
I have spend the last 4 hours looking for a solution to this. Google turns up a lot of results, but they all (more or less) just tell me to make sure my locale is correct!? The word frustrating comes to mind
EDIT: Somehow urxvt is using my locale for showing the files correctly, but not for input from the keyboard. The keys that normally produce æ, ø and å (danish chars) just doesn't do anything at all?
EDIT2: Just in case someone stumbles upon this, here is what I decided to do. I didn't exactly solve the problem, but found another terminal to use instead.
What I actually was trying to do was getting yeahconsole to work. I really liked using yakuake in kde, but after deciding to use lxde didn't want to pull in the complete QT library. yeahconsole however which is actually a wrapper for xterm/urxvt didn't want to behave the way I wanted it to. Well the truth is urxvt didn't want to work the way I wanted it to
Fortunately for my nerves I found another quake like terminal called stjerm. This one works great (until now...). It has tabs and recognizes my locale setting. It's not in the official repos, but is easily installed from AUR.
EDIT3: OK. This is kind of annoying. Now I don't need the solution any more and of course now I have found it
To make urxvt use my locale correctly I must set it as follows: (note the LC_CTYPE setting)
LANG=en_DK.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_DK.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_DK.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_DK.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_DK.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_DK.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_DK.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_DK.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_DK.utf8"
LC_ALL=
I mark this topic as solved.

[Solved]urxvt does not search the font for emojis while gnome-terminal

Hi, I'm using urxvt and am having some problems setting up fonts. These are my URxvt parameters specifying the fonts
URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:style=Semibold:pixelsize=14:antialias=true:hinting=slight, \
xft:PowerlineSymbols:pixelsize=14:antialias=true:hinting=slight, \
xft:Symbola:pixelsize=14:antialias=true:hinting=slight
Now, the emojis from Symbola does not appear and it only appears as a box
The same thing when opened in Gnome-terminal properly displays the emojis
Also, I have tried starting urxvt with the following options
urxvt -fn "xft:Symbola"
and it works but as you see Symbola is not a font for your terminal.
What am I doing wrong here? I've check my previous lines and it is right. Do you guys have any ideas? Much appreciated. I have also tried with other posts stating that Urxvt cannot display symbols properly and have tried them all. If I've missed any please let me know. The strange thing is that it works for Gnome-terminal and Urxvt with only Symbola fonts

Make sure the System Locale is set to utf-8 locale.
This sometimes is the issue.
Many thanks for your reply, I've checked the system locale is proper. I think I have found the solution.
I think the official rxvt-unicode faq and documentation here states that rxvt-unicode drops pixels while showing some fonts because different fonts use different height and width. In this particular case, Symbola font is too wide and the default letterSpace does not allow it to display correct. If -letsp parameter is set to 4, it is displaying but with about a half pixel missing
The specific parameters for .Xresources
URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline,xft:Symbola
URxvt*letterSpace: 4
And this gives this which technically solves the issue
The documentation clearly states the following
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these cases).
I guess the first thing one should do is to check the documentation thoroughly of the official project page rather than searching countless forums where people have discussed stuff based on trial and error. I guess that's a classic rookie mistake and I feel very good that I'm moving past the rookie phase

[solved] ams bibtex styles missing aber texlive-core uprade

Hi,
The new texlive-core 2009.14682-1 package does not include the ams bibtex styles amsalpha.bst, ams.bst.
Any idea where I can find them now?
solved: new version of texlive-core now includes these files
Last edited by alexod (2009-09-13 10:06:43)

Hi djszapi,
the AL-package texlive-core does not contain ams.bst and amsalpha.bst.
I suppose they should be in the texlive-core package as it contains other file of AMStex, the files had been present in the last version and the wiki pages state that it should be in this package.
The files may have move to another AL-package, but I could not find any other.

[SOLVED] URXVT Transparency Dragging Refresh Rate Lag Problems

Hi! Hope y'all are well.
I've been scattering through the threads here searching for posts on window/frame lag, and noticed a few posts regarding the issue... but most were realated to window tearing, which is not exactly my issue...
So basically when I drag my urxvt CLI, which is transparent, the window itself moves without delay, however my desktop wallpaper, which can be seen through the CLI of course, experiences a refresh delay, hope that makes any sense.
Any questions, please ask.
Thanks!

If anyone can tell me why urxvt is not shown in pypanel go ahead.
Because it's tabbed. Try to change the SHOWALL (or whichever that is which defines which apps should be shown) setting to something else (it's been a long time since I used pypanel and had the very same problem, something like this solved it).
But if I were you, I'd simply use docker as a tray app and bind client-list-combined-menu (which also pops up when middle clicking on your desktop) to a key-combination in rc.xml.
Ok, thanks. Showall=2 kinda works (I can't minimize by clicking on the panel, but that's ok). I don't know what you mean with docker though, as I don't have urxvt in the tray. And to koch: there is a thread in the newbie corner .
I fear that was a lot of off topic because of me now, sorry for that.

[SOLVED] urxvt doesn't display correctly some special characters

Hello everyone,
I have a weird issue with urxvt. For some reason it doesn't display correctly some special character.
Here is a comparison between xfce4-terminal and rxvt-unicode (I used theses characters as exemple):
xfce4-terminal :
urxvt :
And here is my .XDefaults file (without the color and the plugin part, since it's unrelevant):
!Font
URxvt.font: xft:PragmataPro:pixelsize=11:antialias=false
!General
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt*imLocale: fr_CH.UTF-8
URxvt.saveLines: 5000
URxvt.geometry: 95x26+50+50
Has someone an idea what the problem could be?
Thank's in advance.
Last edited by mwm (2013-11-13 13:15:48)

This is what I think is happpening.
PragmataPro may not contain those glyphs. It appears to have a wide array of glyphs but it is not unicode complete.
Xfce-terminal is a vte terminal. When a glyph cannot be found in the desired font, it will find the glyph in the 'closest' font. Urxvt will only use the glyphs in the font or fonts specified. If PragmataPro does not contain the glyphs, urxvt will display boxes.
You can give urxvt a series of fonts to search. It will search for a glyph through the listed fonts in the order you specify. Here's an example from my urxvt configs:
urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false:size=8, \
xft:WenQuanYi Bitmap Song:size=8, \
xft:FreeSerif:style=Regular, \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false
I couldn't use FreeSerif or unifont as a main font, but for an occasional glyph, it works for me. This file, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/exam … 8-demo.txt, can be displayed in urxvt correctly, with only a few unknow glyphs showing as boxes in the Amharic section.

[SOLVED]urxvt can't set the background after using slim as DM

Yesterday, I changed lxdm to slim,and then everything went well,except urxvt.Though I think this should have nothing to do with the urxvt's problem.
urxvt only has a white background while my setting is 0000/0000/0000/cccc,even I attempted to comment all options relating to colors,but it doesn't work.until I remove the .Xresources file, urxvt has a black background.
I also attempted to start from startx and other ways, but it didn't work.I have a transparent black interface before,and now it is dazzling white.how could i can resume it.

To add to what sonoran posted above, you need to have xrdb load the settings in your ~/.Xresources. When you use a DE, there are quite a few things that it might do for you depending on the existence (or absence) of a give configuration file.
I have no idea what things are specific to each DE, but I know that the Slim login manager is extremely simple and lightweight and does very little (if anything) automagically for you. A good example of automagic coming from some of the display manager part of things is the locale settings. In particular, they implement their own ways of handling setting your keyboard layout and language. So going if you were to go from GDM to Slim, you would suddenly have the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d honored, whereas in GDM, you would either have to use gconf or use setxkbmap at some point.

How to make shape style move slower?

Hi. I've drawn a nice mask with dabs over an object, applied Light Streak 1 shape style to the mask so that the object draws on over time with a nice light stroke. But it happens too quickly. I would like the effect to happen slower, or possibly slow down and hold the light effect at a certain point. Can't quite figure out how to do this. Please help. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the assistance. Got things to work better, and even tried using the pen tool to create the line that draws around the object, but couldn't seem to get it 100% right. Using the mask tool and doing a few cheats to get the duration longer. The link provided was a great help, but alas, everything tried there didn't work 100% either. Grabbing keyframes works for making shorter durations, but making the motion longer... had some troubles. Ah well, it's solved for now!
