Xfce4-svn menu

How do I edit my menu in xfce4-svn?
xfce4-menueditor is deprecated
Xfce's menu system has been replaced, and xfce4-menueditor is not able to edit the new menu file format. You may continue and edit an old-style menu file, or quit.

BUMP... how DO you edit the menu ?? Since the xorg update xfce is the only thing i can get to honour my chosen resolution.. and now my menus are all ugly gross and now how i like them..

Change icon set - xfce4-svn

I just installed xfce4-svn from shadowhand's repo, together with some icon-themes. I can't seem to find out how to switch icon sets - i'm probably blind, but i've looked "everywhere".
I've got the following xfce-stuff installed
libxfce4mcs-svn 20049-1
libxfce4util-svn 20044-1
libxfcegui4-svn 20473-1
xfce-mcs-manager-svn 20498-1
xfce-utils-svn 20506-1
xfce4-icon-theme-svn 20479-1
xfce4-panel-svn 20516-1
xfce4-session-svn 20506-1
xfdesktop-svn 20498-1
xfwm4-svn 20501-1
xfwm4-themes-svn 20300-1

This is strange. Now i installed the xfce-mcs-plugins-svn and i find the 'User interface settings' entry in the Settings menu, but when i click it i get the message:
Xfce Settings Manager error:
No such plugin "ui"
When i use the 'Settings Manager', there's no such thing as 'User interface settings'.

Xfce4 packages to be replaced by xfce4-svn packages??

Dear Arch fellow users,

Is this a temporary phenomenon, or are we supposed to switch to xfce4-svn? If yes, is xfce4-svn stable enough for a reliable workhorse?
And additionally how could one upgrade to xfce4-svn since I get an error message error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
I hope someone will help me out. Just a week a ago I gathered sufficient courage to turn my bloated and slowly running Ubuntu laptop (for professional use) into revitalized Arch box

Thanks for your quick replies guys!
I think you could successfully participate in the contest "the members who are responding faster than their shadows.....":D
Cerebral you might be right. Also I few days ago I followed the advice of Tardo in the following thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34566 and I installed the xfburn-svn-25797-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz in my quest for a to get a lightweight burner with pacman -U. How do I get rid of it? Just pacman -R xfburn-svn-25797-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz ?? I installed that package since neither graveman (hangs) nor hacburn (can not detect my device) are working. I like k3b but not the bunch and MBs of dependencies.
I will review the AUR and ABS wiki page on how to get rid of the xfburn-svn package....:P
Thanks again for your quick responses!;)

How To Edit Parts of XFCE4 Desktop Menu

I am running Arch 0.7.1 with XFCE4.2. As I have been adding applications with Pacman, some items have started to show up on the XFCE4 desktop menu, but some have not. For example, a Multimedia category has shown up, but xcdroast and xzgv didn't get added.
No problems I thought, I'll just edit the menu. So I went to the desktop Settings tool, Desktop, Menu, Edit Desktop Menu, and to my surprise, no Multimedia heading shows up. None of the rest of the newly added ones do either - Office, Graphics, Network, etc. Since the headings don't even show up, I can't add things to them. When I check the menu.xml file in my ~/.config/xfce4 directory tree, these headings aren't there either, and yet they definitely ARE there when I click the menu.
I am stumped! I have checked the Wiki, searched the forums, and spent a bunch of time to no avail. Can anyone tell me why I can't see and edit these things? Thanks!

OK, solved my own problem - I should have held off posting for a little bit longer. In your ~/.config/xfce4/desktop, there is a file called menu.xml. As I mentioned in my original post, the menus for Multimedia, Network, etc. aren't there. When I went back and carefully examined that file again though, and actually READ all the comments in it, I see that XFCE4 autogenerates a set of menus based on ... well, I am not sure what it is based on, since some things show up and some don't.
However, by simply doing as the comments say, and commenting out the line that does this, I can now add all of these items menus and items in manually, and thus get control over what is in the menus and what is not. Once it is commented out, you can use the GUI desktop menu editor to do the grunt work, so at least it is not too painful.

Xfce4 SVN

Yes I know there's a Xfce4 CVS PKGBUILD but since it's so outdated I desided to update it so it's again usable. I'm not entirely sure about the deps so if you find any missing ones please post it here.
Please note that this package is not designed to be installed with other versions of Xfce. It may work and may not, most likely it won't so please remove any previous installations of Xfce.

Xfce4-svn default theme - What's that window decoration?!

I installed xfce4-svn (and xfce4-svn-extra) the other day, and i would just fell in love with the default gray window decorations! They are so clean and beautiful. I want to dress my new shiny gnome 2.16 desktop with it...
So... can anyone tell me what the decorations is called, and is there a gnome eqvivalent?

you can open browsers new window using jdic...
unfortunately Desktop.browse() doesnt allow to do that, but we can do that another way:
        String urlToOpen = "http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5236723";
        BrowserService browserService = (BrowserService) ServiceManager.getService(ServiceManager.BROWSER_SERVICE);
        try {
            // exactly "_blank" allow to open necessary url in a new window :)
            browserService.show(new URL(urlToOpen), "_blank");
        } catch (LaunchFailedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Xfce4-svn: desktop icons not removed [solved]

How to reproduce:
1. create file on desktop (e.g., drag it from Thunar window, or save file directly on desktop)
2. Delete this file via context menu
3. The icon of this file stay on the desktop anyway. If you open ~/Desktop, you'll see that file really deleted, but the icon present.
Any ideas?

Thanks to pushing me in proper direction. Really, fam not running
I start fam and restart xfce. Now icons disappear after deleting. Thnx

[SOLVED] xfce4 wine menu

Is there a way I can have a category called Wine on my xfce menu bar that holds all the wine applications i have installed?

Good to hear. Please mark the thread as solved by editing your first post and adding [SOLVED] to the beginning of the topic title.

Xfce4-menu disappeared.

Hi !
Last evening i went on updating my system like everyday - but then something weir happened.
After pulling the latest updates (via pacman -Syu , of course) my xfce4-menu didn't respond anymore (which means the button was dead).
A right click on the desktop didn't bring up the menu either.
First i was wondering whether this was related to any updates (i'm using testing) ,any stupid mistakes i made, or if it was just a "once"-error which would disappear after rebooting - So i rebooted , and afterwards, my menu-button was completely disappeared - well, shit!
Thanks to the shortcut alt+f2, i am still able to use my system but its not very comfortable.
Since i'm running testing AND i'm playing a lot with my system i first looked what i might have done wrong - but i found nothing.
Now here comes the point: After trying a bit i stopped my work on my machine and turned towards my girlfriends notebook. I also ran pacman -Syu (but ! this machine doesn't use the testing repo!) and then exactly the same error occured - no xfce4-menu !
After reading the Thread "start menu icons..." in this forum i tried downgrading my libx11 - but without success.
since there were LOTS of updates its quite difficult for me to find the related package, so i'm helpless at the moment.
The only thing that i could imagine is that i should have tried to add a new xfce4-menu to the panel after downgrading libx11 . But i didn't have this idea yesterday and so i didn't try it (i'm at work atm, so i can't try anything by now) - Anyway, whith the current libx11 there is no menu-entry in the "add objects to panel"-dialogue.
I hope you understand what i mean (my english is poor, i know) and can supply me with hints how i could solve or at least locate my problem.
Additional-Information: I'm using xfce4-svn (from community, i think) - my pacman uses the default sources+testing , my girlfriend's one uses the default sources without testing (so i don't think this is related to testing). If this is the wrong forum i'm sorry - admins are free to move it to the right section.
regards,
stylopath

the problem is xfdesktop-svn-26127-2
i downgraded it to version xfdesktop-svn-26070-2 and now it works again.
here is a server which has this file:
i686 package
x86_64 package
you have to install it with:
pacman -U xfdesktop-svn-26070-2.pkg.tar.gz
(first download it of course

I taught if I go in suspend to ram mode, my laptop will wake up in same mode without turning of/restart.
Correct
Actualy I don't know how suspend to ram act.
The current state is saved to your RAM, when you wake up your system that state will come up again. What is Suspend to Ram
When I suspend my system screen goes black (as if it is powered of) and the powerbutton blinks. When I push the powerbutton again, my system wakes up and returns to the state before the suspend. I don't know this for sure, but in my opinion this is general for all systems.

Xfce4-panel dissapears (segfault)

I'm using xfce4-svn. The latest xfce4-panel-svn, 4.5.0.3svn-r26171, segfaults, leaving me without panels. GDB shows this:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb7ec679d in xfce_arrow_button_set_arrow_type ()
from /usr/lib/libxfce4panel.so.1
Sorry if it was already reported, I searched bugs at xfce bugzilla and arch flyspray and found nothing. Just wanted to confirm if it happens to someone else. Already tried deleting ~/.config and starting xfce using another user, without luck.
Plus, before my panel started sefgaulting, I had the same problem of my xfce menu dissapearing.
I'm the only one?

I had the same problem and after googling for awhile I found a workaround that seems to work to only have one panel on your xfce4 desktop. It seems that you have to go ahead and delete either panel in the desktop manager. It doesn't matter which as both panels (top and bottom) will disappear. Then edit your ~/.config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml file to remove one panel's info from <panel> to <panel>. This is what you're left with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE config SYSTEM "config.dtd">
<panels>

Save the file and logout of xfce4. NOTE: Make sure you don't have the "save session" box checked off when you log out or all is for not. When you log back in, voila, only one panel.

WM/Menu/Panel - Need Help/Suggestions

At the moment, I'm running KDE 3.5... with OpenBox3 as the window manager. I like the KDE apps, and the OpenBox look and feel. I really, really like Xfce4's panel and right click on desktop menu, and was wondering if it is possible to give up the DE and just have OpenBox with Xfce4's menu and panel. I could still use the KDE apps but I would not use the DE. I do not like the OpenBox menu, even if it is xml/standard. I know the panel is possible, but not so sure about the menu. I don't want to have to download all of Xfce4 though. I don't need Terminal or Thunar or that stuff.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Zack

If you want to run XFCE and just substitute Openbox as the window manager, you can look here:
http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:XFCE/Openbox
It's also possible to run Openbox, and then launch the XFCE panel on top of it (xfce4-panel).
I'll also second that the XFCE apps (Thunar and their terminal program) are quite light and fast. If you don't want them, they shouldn't get in the way.

Xfce4 no longer starts from kdm [SOLVED]

I have somehow borked my Xfce4 setup. I've switched back and forth a few times between Xfce4 in /extra and Xfce4-svn. Somewhere I've done something so that I can no longer start Xfce4 from kdm. Instead, I have to open a terminal and manually do "startxfce4".
When I try to launch xfce4 from kdm, I get this segfault message:
xfce4-session[8818]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f92e95008a2
sp 00007ffff51bcc80 error 4 in libc-2.9.so[7f92e9461000+14a000]
I've done all kinds of manipulations of my ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/xfce4-session files, including toying with permissions and even zapping them altogether.
I've also uninstalled xfce4 entirely, then reinstalled.
And I've uninstalled xfce4-svn entirely, then reinstalled.
I've reinstalled glibc, thinking that there might be a conflict, and I rebuilt xfce4-session from abs. No go.
My other DE (KDE4) and wm (fluxbox) start fine from kdm.
FWIW, this is all that's in my ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
#~/.xinitrc
exec startxfce4
Here's my ~/.xsession:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xsession
# Executed by xdm/gdm/kdm at login
/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc
What am I missing?

Solved, finally.
Following suggestions from Allan (mod), I deleted these files, then restarted:
~/.config/xfce4
~/.config/xfce4-session
~/.cache/xfce4
Thanks!
right again. When I followed Allan's suggestion, I didn't simultaneously delete . I had deleted them before, but to get a really fresh start, I needed to delete all of them at once before restarting.

[Solved] Xfce4 crashing at start

Hi, I did recently install Xfce4-svn from the unstable repos, and it worked, initially. The second time i tried to log in to the Xfce-session, it instantly kicked me out to the GDM, and it has done this ever since. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Xfce, and searching the forum, but haven't succeded on getting rid of this.
Any tips on how i might solve this?
EDIT: If someone knows the locations of any logfiles that might connected to this, that might help as well.
Thanks

I had a similar problem a few weeks back. Since I installed my own cursor theme, I altered the default index.theme file and stopped it from being upgraded in <code>/etc/pacman.conf</code>:
NoUpgrade = usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme
I ran across the problem of Xfce instantly kicking me out when I tried to change the icon theme to default and it obviously didn't find what it was expecting. From then on, I couldn't log into X at all...it would kick me out as soon as Xfce had loaded. To solve the problem, I had to edit <code>~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/gtk.xml</code> and change the <code>Net/IconThemeName</code> back to a different icon theme. Hopefully that helps if someone else runs across the same thing. :oops:
