 Isn't there any other application that does this? Just curious.

If you're running testing or unstable then thunar will do this without
any gnome dependencies.

These aren't related and aren't a bug.  They just mean what they say.
Your X server/graphics hardware either doesn't support compositing
(transparency and other magic) or you haven't turned it on.  They
shouldn't be what's causing the window title oddness.

I haven't seen any other bug reports similar to this against xfwm4 (I'm
part of the team that maintain all the Xfce packages in Debian).

If you do find out that it's a problem with xfwm4 or you want us to ask
upstream then email us (pkg-xfce-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org) or file
a bug.

I don't know if upstream will have any clues though.

 After a recent upgrade of my testing system, some sound apps work

 tried recompiling, with the driver as a module, but 2.4.27 gave errors
 using both gcc-3.3 and gcc-4.0; that's odd, because I've successfully
 compiled it with gcc-3.3 several times before.)

 I installed alsa-utils and ran alsaconf, but it found no PnP, PCI, or legacy
 drivers!  (I thought perhaps it didn't like drivers in the kernel, which is
 why I tried to recompile.)

 Any thoughts?

Perhaps you're using OSS in xmms?  Try installing xfce4-mixer-oss
(which will remove xfce4-mixer-alsa).

If you want to be using ALSA then I'd suggest looking at ALSA support in
your kernel.

You can check what output device xmms is using by right clicking on it
and going through Options  Preferences.  On the Audio I/O plugins tab,
what is the output plugin?

 FocusRaise raises a window that got focus. The problem I observed is exactly 
 the opposite: to give focus to a window that got raised. FocusNewWindow 
 doesn't apply because a new window is not being created in this scenario.

Oh right, sorry.  I've misunderstood then.  I thought you were talking

  As you suspected, that shows 4.0.6 installed, not 4.2.  So, my

 On closer examination, it appears that the only piece of 4.2 in

There are undoubtedly bugs in it as with every software but the ones

 But neither XFCE nor KDE are window managers. They are desktop

 graphical environments for X.

Some window managers blur the lines a bit anyway by including menus or
panels etc that you can't get rid of.  Xfce is very modular so you can
just run the window manager (xfwm4) or you could run the window manager
and the xfdesttop (for the root screen and the menu when you right click
on the root screen) or you could run the panel as well as xfwm4 etc.

 In that sense, then perhaps.  But XFCE4's only good thing is that it
 has plenty of eye-candy.  You can't do a thing with it other than
 that.

I understand that a window manager/desktop environment is a personal

 Whenever I have things like that, I use

 Would be good if there was a gzless which automatically does it, or

It's called zless and is installed by gzip.

It's just a shell script which uses LESSOPEN.

Did you change it in the UI settings from the settings manager?

That's in the xfce4-mcs-plugins package.  You might need the

If you don't get it working it would help to know what you have

If you're running GNOME or xfce4 (and probably KDE somehow too) then
you're running an xsettings manager.

You just need to go into keyboard settings and set the keyboard map to
Emacs in xfce4 for instance.  In Gnome you want to run
gnome-keybinding-properties (or get to it through the menus somehow).

I imagine there's a way to do this in KDE too.

 However, I wouldn't want to put an X11 server (ditto most X11 clients

The latest version of xfce4 in testing and unstable is the stable branch

 I'm not sure why it's still outstanding though.
 This works fine form me:

 EXEC=/usr/bin/startxfce4

 SCRIPT:
 exec /usr/bin/startxfce4|

 I put it on my .xinitrc.

If you have a .xinitrc and choose to use that from *dm then it'll all
work fine.

The point is it should work out of the box when you just apt-get install
kdm and xfce4 but it doesn't.

 As far as I know there's no way to do this though someone asked on IRC
 today and there's a plugin for the panel to do this in CVS apparently.
 If there is one, where do you think I can get it.
 I don't want to add the whole tree to apt.

It's in CVS at
http://lunar-linux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xfce4/xfdesktop/panel-plugin/?cvsroot=Xfce

but don't expect it to work on the stable 4.0 branch which is the one in
unstable/sarge.

 Is it that annoying to find a bit of blank desktop and right click?
 It's not the problem to add a program that is often used to the panel
 or the desktop but it is a problem to remember that thousands of (more
 or less) little helpers only needed sometimes.

If you want the Debian menu you can get it by right clicking on the
desktop - you don't need a plugin to the panel to do this.

The above packages are probably marked as automatically installed for

You could run:
aptitude install checkinstall kapptemplate kbabel kbugbuster kcachegrind

 umbrello valgrind valgrind-calltree

Or you could manually tag those packages as /not/ being automatically

You probably also need to check that other packages that you want aren't
set as having been automatically installed too.

Upstream have been promising 4.0.5 since 21st March but it hasn't

 While sorting this problem out, I noticed that /etc/gdm/Sessions/Xfce4

 What's the practical difference between running
 /usr/bin/xfce4-session
 and
 exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session
 ?

It'll run all the bits in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ first too so for instance
it'll run ssh-agent if you have use-ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.options

Basically it means it should fit in better with what everything else
does (startx, other session managers).

 Autrement dit, je cherche l'équivalent de la commande m4/sendmail : 
 define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`le_nom_que_je_veux')

Je crois que tu cherches primary_hostname.

Il ne faut cependant pas chercher trop loin étant donné que c'est la
première ligne de conf dans tous les fichiers de conf d'exim que j'ai
vu.

Si ça ne marche pas, c'est peut-être l'adresse enveloppe que regarde le
serveur SMTP relay et soit tu peux le réécrire par exim soit tu peux le
faire par ton MUA si tu es un trusted_user (avec la version de testing
il y a moyen de permettre de passer -f à n'importe quel utilisateur
local sans tous leur donner le statut de trusted_user aussi cf. la doc

of the Project from Ian Murdock, and Bruce was working at Pixar,
the company that produced the movie. This release was fully ELF,

 Le probleme est assez simple ( pas la solution ), 
 j'ai mis en place deux serveurs de mail :

 le client qui est sous windows lorsqu'il lance sont logiciel de

 du courrier arrive sur le serveur B il ne les aurra pas malgres le
 petit drapeau de notify.

 je cherche donc a imaginer une strategie qui me permette de garder la
 notion de serveur primaire, secondaire sans cet inconvenient.

 je dois pouvoir stopper un des serveurs sans pertes de donnees
 et que cela soit transparent pour l'utilisateur ( meme s'il existe
 un leger decalage entre les deux machines, hormis le crash )

Quelque chose comme un script qui:
- congèle tous les méls pour cet utilisateur sur le serveur que tu veux
  arrêter.
- les prends un par un et les insère dans la queue d'exim à l'autre bout
  par disons ssh + exim -oi -bm -t ou quelque chose du genre

Je ne sais pas sûr que c'est ce que tu veux cependant.  Je suppose qu'il
cherche ses méls par POP ou autre et que tu n'utilises pas ETRN pour les
