No issues, they have no problem existing in parallel, I've seem machines with xfce, gnome, kde, fvwm and a few others in parallel. I personally switch window managers occasionally just for the fun of the change and have several existing in parallel.

The only thing that may take some work is making the choice of which one to load easy enough (I setup things in .Xsession but I think gdm can do it from the startup menu). The only thing is that xfwm4 doesn't have a replace option so it's a bit more difficult to change window managers without restarting unless your session manager has a menu option (fusion-icon allows me to change betwin compiz and xfwm4 but if I start compiz --replace I have a problem going back without restart)

I believe that xfce can also use the gnome backend for settings and you can mix and match the panel and window manager. The xfce panel can even use gnome applets (with a plugin to do it)

Do you need help?

this statement leads naturally into the next:

(people lacking experience tend to make blanket judgements/recommendations).

Do you need more help?

In etch it doesn't. It just goes away after a while but thankfully doesn't delete stuff from the camera. --D.

By default, the X version of emacs uses black text in a white background and the console version uses white text in a black background (I don't what does it do if the console background is white). When you run it from a menu or from the file manager, you're probably running the X version. You can either install emacs22-nox to get rid of the X version or you can read through 'info emacs' and find out what X resources you need to touch in order to get the color combination you want (I remember Emacs.background being for background, but don't know about text). --=20 Gabriel Parrondo GNU/Linux User #404138 GnuPG Public Key ID: BED7BF43 JID: gabrielp@xmpp.us "The only difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there'= s no difference between theory and practice." --=-1jh0MOS6WFmu5CQeqVyW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Esta parte del mensaje =?ISO-8859-1?Q?est=E1?= firmada digitalmente -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: GnuPG digital signature iD8DBQBHUXUGIOmrXr7Xv0MRAjC+AJ9Y5I6XFTk4EEDTLslgGKiFYlwpxwCgnERJ 0uHx4wFjfKcdW0H+5Qyn3OI= =T51O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1jh0MOS6WFmu5CQeqVyW--

Check if is up sshd, you could test restarting it as well, normally when a connection get refused is because there's no service to take the reques= t. --=20 ghostbar on debian linux 'sid' 2.6.22 x86_64-SMP - #382503 Weblog: http://ghostbar.ath.cx/ - http://linuxtachira.org http://debian.org.ve - irc.debian.org #debian-ve #debian-devel-es San Crist=C3=B3bal, Venezuela. http://chaslug.org.ve GPG: 0xCACAB118 --------------enig951E39EA888870ABF9A03293 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHUXnCOKCtW8rKsRgRAgLZAJ4nuqpPykKXY0WG0GA9zvd8OFow6QCgn6aP uOQEr8dh0abPP8x08hPBvqU= =I5aD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig951E39EA888870ABF9A03293--

I'm not sure why it is different, but i think I can tell you how to change the default behaviour. I have the following in my ~/.Xresources: Emacs.foreground: white Emacs.background: black You need to restart X or do a xrdb .Xresources in a Terminal for changes to take effect, but then you should be set.

I'm unclear what the problem is. Are they having trouble ssh'ing in? If so, what do you mean by them not having problem accessing home folders? If not, what do you mean by the connection being refused? -- Kent

I honestly don't know. There *has* to be some performance hit because the data gets mangled before hitting the disk. I don't *notice* any performance hit on my laptop. I'm not in a position at the moment to compare in the same way as you, but I did capture some speeds during my setup. When I was wiping the encrypted partition during setup, I got between 26 and 36 MB/s writing depending on where on the disk I was. So I'd say what you're seeing is not typical. Note that I'm on a pretty new laptop with halfway decent specs.

I would say you've got something messed up there. Just a quick run-down of what I've done: 1. modprobe dm_crypt sha256 aes_i586. confirmed it worked by ls -l /dev/mapper/control 2. create the encrypted partition: cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -y luksFormat /dev/<encrypted-part> 3. map it to a /dev/mapper/volume: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/<encrypted-part> crypt-part 4. create a filesystem on /dev/mapper/crypt-part and away you go. this is all on sid, BTW. hth A =20 --SoGQxgZEULAMOcJz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHUYFSaIeIEqwil4YRAitUAJ9dbDDlJV4MgSYyUghsJtZaCeZ7NQCeK1+O ZfSol8eB4aBVFofET+jpSqk= =JBSG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SoGQxgZEULAMOcJz--

"gdeskcal" is configurable and the event can be shown when mouse is moved over the specified date. "orage" is good, but seems it has to double click the date entry to view the event. One more questions, I found one package named "opensync-plugin-google-calendar", as the name says, how to take use of this plugin to work with Google Calendar? Regards. Michael. David wrote:
