you can't run X apps as root by default in gentoo
you can try using and then running but it isn't safer way

This didn't work, so I tried moving /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc to ~/.config/xfce4 and editing the xfwm4 line to show:

xfwm4 --daemon --disable-compositor --compositor=off

but that didn't work either. I also tried editing the one in /etc/xdg/xfce4, to the same effect.
a ps aux output only shows a display and sm parameter to xfwm4.
Any suggestions? Perhaps some of the config files are treated differently in gentoo? *shrugs*
Anyways, any help would be appreciated as this DE really rocks and I would love to use it as my default. |
Actually, Xfce 4.2 (as of the first beta, I think) saves your session, so that the same applications that were open and running when you quit open and run when you start your session, including things like your panel, desktop manager, and the window manager. Try resetting your session by doing an `rm -rf $HOME/.cache/*` and then when you nex run Xfce 4 (via startxfce4 or what-have-you), it will reset itself to the default session in $HOME/.config/xfce4/xinitrc or /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc if your user does not have their own $HOME/.config/xfce4/xinitrc file. Alternatively, you can rebuild xfwm4 without compositor support by running `USE="-compositor" emerge xfwm4` as root. |
Cool, thanks. I tried this, and it still didn't work though  I actually figured out why - and that's because xfce4-session was being run in xinitrc and then it would just exit before even getting to xfwm4. So I stuck the xfwm4 line before xfce4-session and it was being run with the correct parameters. However, I'm still having the problem with the desktop menu not disappearing after I exit it!
There is no "compositor" use flag for xfwm4  |

@wong
Thanks for your post.
However I have used sudo with nautilus before and that never gave me an issue.
I tried what you suggested with xhost + and sudo rox
when I run xhost +
it gives me a message stating
| Code: | | access control disabled, clients can connect from any host |
I emerged gksu to see if that would give me what I wanted but that did not seem to work.
Like I said I'm able to launch su -c rox / from a terminal and that works without a problem.
Just want to do it from the panel.

Just a couple of quick questions is Termial http://www.os-cillation.com/article.php?sid=40 going to be part of xfce4.
I'm using rox as file manager at the moment I just wondered if there was anyway of running a rox desktop with this?
I'm trying to find a gtk(no glib) based archive manager an currently have found none. I just wondered if anyone knew of any? |

I can't get most of the icons to work in this release...My Settings Manger shows only the panel and file manager icons, none of the others. The results of the icons failing can also be seen in other places such as the right click menu. Kind of annoying. I re-emerged it all (I was sleeping anyways) and it didn't fix it.
Anyone else know why this is or having the same problem?
Yes I did update from xfce 4.0.* and have been following all of the beta's and this is the first one to introduce this problem. |

File-Roller maybe? Though it does tend to have a lot of GNOME deps, which may scare people away. I quite like it however. =)

File-roller is belting although a gtk+ 7-zip would be what I want for Christmas.
Its just I'm on a diet on my machine.
I moved from gedit to katoob(which was a pleasant surprise btw). |

same problem here, do you have also probs with xfce4-panel? It won't start here (GTK segmentation fault on gtkcontainer.c or something).

| The panel starts but, with only a few exceptions, most of my icons were defined by me there. But that doesn't even sound like it is the root cause of the problem. |

| Also in the new release, scrolling a window that is focused, but not on top raises it, so I am assuming XFCE now treats scrolling as clicking, is there any way to turn this off? |

I've got a question for anybody using this...
I originally had torsmo start automatically with Enlightenment before I switched to this new RC by inserting into /etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment. When I try this in XFCE, I see torsmo displayed in the few seconds before XFCE kicks in, but then it's covered by whatever manner XFCE uses to draw on the root window. Starting torsmo from a command prompt works just fine. Does anybody know of a way to get Torsmo to start automatically with XFCE and actually work?

This was the first thing that I noticed on upgrading to RC1 from beta2. I desperately need this to be switched back to the old behavior. I have looked in XFCE bugzilla and the XFCE forums and I have seen no mention of it. Surely we aren't the only two to have noticed it?
I'm assuming that it's a bug, but if it's still in 4.2 final I will have to raise a stink. |

Anyone else is having problems loading $HOME/.Xmodmap when XFCE4 starts? I start XFCE4 with startx, after creating a script /etc/X11/Sessions/xfce4 with
| Code: | | /usr/bin/startxfce4 |
and putting XSESSION="xfce4" in rc.conf, but xmodmap is not loaded. If I put XSESSION="fluxbox", my custom Xmodmap loads ok.
It's very weird, because the script that launches xfce4, /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc, has this line:
| Code: | | test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap && xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap |
I even changed that line to
| Code: | | test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap && xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap && echo "XMODMAP LOADED" |
and surely, the message XMODMAP LOADED appears when I write startx. But my Xmodmap is NOT loaded, the mouse buttons are all swapped, and I have to load it in a terminal once inside xfce4.
I also tried by creating a .xinitrc in my home with
| Code: | xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
exec startxfce4 |
but that didn't help.
Any idea? Thanks. |

Hi ZothOmmog, i've solved your problem by putting this line in my ~/.xfce4/xinitrc
[code]sleep 2 && torsmo&[/code]
This solves the first problem, but i don't know if this is the right way to address this problem. Torsmo is displayed fine enough, but it sometimes dissappear. If somebody has got this same problem, and prefferably an sollution please feel free to reply!

Yeah, I'd prefer it without, but never mind. And there's discussion about the icons issue on the Xfce4-dev mailing list at the moment, in this thread. Bug reference here. |
