I need to shut down from a terminal, as lxsession currently throws a GTK exception at a shutdown attempt. It's also a bit of a pain to make the Debian menu tree work in LXDE, but many people aren't bothered about that. I have it working on my desktop, but I can't seem to get it on another sid LXDE installation, and I can't for the life of me see what is different about it. But I came from Gnome2, and LXDE feels more comfortable than Xfce. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
