I have recently discovered Xfce. I've been using it for about a week and like it very much. Most of my issues with Gnome are resolved, but...
I miss automatic mounting of usb memory sticks when I plug them in and the Cosmos screensaver. I think I have a satisfactory work-around for usb sticks, but Cosmos? There are a lot of hits when I Google Cosmos and various words like Debian, Linux, etc. But they seem all to assume that I am running Gnome. I don't want to run gnome, but I tried installing gnome-screensaver anyway. Didn't help because I couldn't figure out how to tell xfce about it, so that it was used. I couldn't find the actual Cosmos file or a way to put that in xscreensaver. Gnome-screensaver brought in a bunch of packages that I otherwise really-didn't-need. An extra puzzle is that xscreensaver, which works fine under xfce mentions Cosmos in its Preferences window, but when I select it in Preference, I merely get a message that it is unavailable. Is there a way past this? A Google search string? TIA -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
