I've been using Xfce4 near-exclusively for a couple of months now, and I've absolutely fallen in love with it-- coming from KDE, I feel like I've "graduated", in a way. ;) Unfortunately, I've run into a serious problem in the last couple of weeks and hope that someone can help.

Can't help you with your XFce4 question, but I was curious about your setup with the Zaurus. Are you using the default Sharp ROM? Wireless? Another keyboard? (It pains me to think you typed that message on the Z!)
Todd, who mainly plays backgammon and Go on his SL-5500.
LOL-- that's the first time I've been sidetracked by interest in my Z. ;)
I'm running the stock Sharp ROM (v3.13) right now, Todd; I personally found the migration to OpenZaurus (specifically, hacking apps like Opera and the Hancom Office components) to be too cumbersome. I like what I read about and see in OZ, but I'm just too dependent on the Qtopia apps right now. Then again, I used to think the same thing about my Windows software...
I connect to the internet with a plain old CF landline modem; and no, I didn't type those messages on the Z's keyboard. :) Right now (believe it or not), my Zaurus is the only internet-capable computer in my office, so when I have a long message to send I edit it on a desktop machine, transfer it to a Secure Digital card, pop it into the Z, and cut & paste. Cumbersome, but I can't exactly ask the company to spring for a real, non-Winmodem modem just because I've clandestinely installed Linux on one of their machines.
The Zaurus is a lot of fun and frightening powerful for what it is, but I feel it falls a bit flat as a PDA (in terms of PIM, that is). I still carry a Palm OS handheld for the bulk of my organizational needs, but the Z comes in darned handy when I'm away from my desk and need to edit my staff schedule, or when I'm sitting around the office and need to post a message to a mailing list. ;)
Thanks for your interest,
Marv
