This solution looks appropriate. I am new to quebes and found the vm manager challenging using v3.2. I have not tried v4. But I am not familiar with the xfce bar and the pictures didn't look like the xfce panel on v32. I will move to v4 this coming week. I did not getting anything working on v3.2, I would like to get to a better start on v4. I would apprecitate any suggestions on how to better use the tools provided to manage vms. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
