It's supported by the plugin, but it doesn't work. If there should be
another plugin for the panel to switch the CPU frequency scaling I would
use this.
I usually only need to switch to performance when I run audio sessions,
to avoid issues with jackd.
The plugin for the gnome panel does the job, I need such an plugin for
Xfce too.
# cpufreq-selector -g performance &
also is ok. Btw. without the & the CLI hangs, I suspect & isn't the
correct command to handle this?!

I know how to edit a launcher and I know how to edit a "regular" menu
entry. But on top of the Xfce's applications menu there are entries that
don't appear when I run alacarte or when I use the option to edit
entries by the applications menu's properties (seems to be alacarte
too).

No need to do this, it's already set to de.

Hm? This seems not to be the correct way to set
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
Locales to be generated:
[*] de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
[*] en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
Default locale for the system environment:
de_DE.UTF-8
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
de_DE.UTF-8... done
en_GB.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Warning: LANGUAGE ("en_GB:en") is not compatible with
LANG (de_DE.UTF-8). Disabling it.
$ gedit .profile
$ grep LANGUAGE .profile
LANGUAGE=english
Restart
The Login Manager (GDM) starts in German, but it should be English :(,
anyway I can stand this.
$ gcalctool
If I push the "," on the Num keyboard it's still not a "." for
gcalctool :(.
At least anything else still seems to be in English, as it should be,
OTOH excepted of the dictionary, I haven't installed any de language
packages.
Now even messages by the terminal are on German :(, this is absolutely
unwanted.
spinymouse@debian:~$ local -a
bash: local: can only be used in a function
spinymouse@debian:~$ su
Password:
root@debian:/home/spinymouse# local -a
bash: local: kann nur innerhalb einer Funktion benutzt werden.
Okay, I guess editing /root/.profile would solve this issue.
How do I set up "the correct local"?
Didn't find it by Google.
Thanks,
Ralf
