Hello, I've just started to use two monitors (dual monitor). The two monitors are treated as a very wide, single screen. There is only one taskbar. There is only one desktop. Now, I want to change that. I want virtual desktop 1 to be displayed on monitor 1 and virtual desktop 2 on monitor 2. In othe...

Thank you for your response. The application sets the icon that it wants on the taskbar into the _NET_WM_ICON property of its window. I see. That means there is no easy or systematic way to change those icons. I thought there were a more modern way like .desktop files. But, I think lxpanel could, in...

Hi all, I'm wondering how to set an icon for an application invoked from the command line. Basically I want to know how lxpanel "knows" which icon to use. For example, when you type $ /usr/bin/emacs22 the taskbar (lxpanel) shows the icon of emacs. How does the panel know which one to use? ...

that the developers in Debian-testing wanted to force me from a good and supple running KDE3.5 into a still unripe KDE4. Wow. You are exactly in the same state as I was many months ago. I did make the switch from KDE3.5 to LXDE and has been happy with the latter. Regarding your specific questions, ...

Before filing a bug report, if I am reading your post correctly, you might want to consider that your LXDE version is over a year old. Thanks for pointing that out. Francesco, what's your version?

Yes, I have also seen that sometimes and already asked that. (http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=541) Thanks for your response. Yes, I noticed your thread after I posted mine. I should've been more careful. So, it may be worth filing a bug report, although I'm not sure if it will help th...

Hi there, I've just noticed that all icons have disappeared from my Desktop. In my ~/Desktop, there are still files that used to be displayed on the Desktop. Exactly the same thing happened a few days ago on my other PC. Has anybody seen this problem? Is it worth submitting a bug report? I'm using t...

my default browser is IceWeasel(Firefox), i use Debian testing, where i can make the iceweasel my default browser? As a root, # update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and choose iceweasel. LXDE simply uses the application "x-www-browser", which in fact is a symbolic link to whatever b...

Hi there, I'm struggling to get the autostart working for some applications. Let me take skype as an example. I wish skype to start at login. So, $ cd .config/autostart/ $ ln -s /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop But this doesn't work. Strangely there are applications that work in a similar way, ...

Hi there, I've added a .desktop file (~/Desktop/emacs22-gtk.desktop) to the launch bar: (right click) > "Application Launch Bar" Settings > Add and then I choose the .desktop file. The emacs icon appears in the launch bar. If you click on the icon, emacs is launched, but not the version sp...
