Re: What keeps messing up ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.con

Curiouser and curiouser... the problem seems to vanish when pcmanfm is not being used to display the desktop - sometimes

Re: What keeps messing up ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.con

No default here; just an LXDE directory. Adding default doesn't change the situation. Furthermore, both /etc/xdg/pcman/default/pcman.conf and /etc/xdg/pcman/LXDE/pcman.conf both use [ui] win_width=539 win_height=404 I even tried changing the ownership of ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf to root:r...

Re: No Transparent Background in Fedora 18

Definitely a Fedora issue - it persists into the current F19 alpha. I took matters into my own hand and installed compton (a fork of xcompmgr) and created a desktop file in ~.config/autostart to set the transparency of the panels by executing the following script, which identifies the panels by thei...

What keeps messing up ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf?

It seems that pcmanfm wants to open with size 280x149, regardless of what I do. When I win_width and win_height in ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf before starting X, the filemanager window will open with the dimensions I set only the first time. Any subsequent openings of a pcmanfm give me a 280...

Lxpanel transparency question

I run LXDE desktops with both Fedora 18 and Ubuntu 12.10 on my netbook. $HOME/.config/libfm, $HOME/.config/lxpanel, $HOME/.config/openbox, and $HOME/.config/pcmanfm are identical. Under Ubuntu, the panel is transparent, as it is supposed to be. However, under Fedora, the panel is opaque. Any ideas r...

Re: Alt-# behavior

Looks like an lxterminal thing. FWIW, when using Ctrl-Shift-t to create a new tab, the new tab shows ^T before the bash prompt. I don't recall when this started happening; currently using lxterminal-0.1.11-3 in Fedora 17 and lxterminal-0.1.11-1 in Fedora 16.

Re: Increase width of window scrollbar

Question, as I don't currently have a Lubuntu or ...buntu+openbox installation: Is the file
/usr/share/themes/<theme-name>/openbox-3/themere or
/usr/share/themes/<theme-name>/openbox-3/themerc as in Fedora?

Re: Cannot log in to LXDM after update (Fedora 16)

Don't know if it's related, but I had a problem with one of the betas with user UID=1000 when I tried to copy the home directory of my Fedora 16 user UID=1000 to my Fedora 17 installation. Given that it was a beta, I just installedthe next beta and had no problem. Are you using the correct password ...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

I don't see the sluggishness or the trailing windows, just the occasional failure of desktop folders to open when double-clicked. Sometimes I can open a folder using the pcmanfm launcher I keep in one of my panels, sometimes that doesn't work either. Currently running pcmanfm-0.9.10-2, libfm-0.1.17-...
