Hi All, One of the xfce-goodies that I've found to be useful is the xfce4-taskmanager package. It's a simple graphical utility that allows the user to see running processes, memory consumption, etc. You can also kill running processes from this utility.
Among other things, I've found this utility to be helpful when killing a non-responsive program, as sometimes the top command doesn't always display the name of the non-responsive application. In those situations where I've been using top, I've had to guess at the name of the application when using the killall command. Using the taskmanager utility has always allowed me to see and take action on the non-responsive app. If we have the room on the cd, and assuming that the application hasn't been excluded for technical reasons (i.e. excessive memory usage / memory leaks or known bugs), could we include this as part of the default installation seeds? I think it would be an easy thing to include that would provide added benefit our users. Jim Also - w00t for the release of xfce-4.6-rc1. :)
