Hello Everyone, I notice that the Xfce page is still in the book source but is commented out. I've just spent a few hours installing it and it wasn't too hard to get it to a usable state. I don't think I'll be using it as my default desktop but I think I will keep installing it as an option. I could put in a few days work to rewrite the xfce page and bring it up to date. Is there any demand? It seems to be well maintained, it was easy to install, it didn't give me any problems. When first launched it looks awful and needs a bit of clicking about in the menus to set the icons, font preferences and theme and such like, but it works.
One issue is that Terminal uses the Gtk+-2 version of Vte, vte-0.28.2 so I'll need to put that back into the book somewhere. It might be best to split it up into separate pages in an xfce folder and put the vte-0.28.2 page in there with them. At the moment the xfce page is in the window managers folder which isn't really appropriate, it's a lot more than a window manager. There's even a CD burning GUI, xfburn, which works pretty well TL,DR: Any demand for/objections to me putting Xfce back into the book?
