Drop openbox, just go with fluxbox.

Will you be removing all of Xfce (thunar, terminal, mixer, etc ..)?

I'm really starting to like spacefm, the xfce terminal and mixer are good apps though.

Maybe remove some other apps as well - medit is default editor (your fav, I believe) so geany doesn't need to be included, unload a couple gnome dependencies as well.

Given the thread about issues with Umplayer and CD's, maybe swap that out as well.

I'm hoping our upcoming move back west will help him out. We are down south now - S. Carolina - and the humidity is making my joints ache. The dog's hip issues are definitely worse here. We'll be heading to where is will be colder, but dryer summer and winter.

I'm originally from the Pacific Northwest, so I'm basically heading home.

CPU heat issues. Upgrading to the 3.11 kernel has worked out well - temps not going above mid 50's C with video running and other apps going.

I don't know if I can get the temp of my intel graphics on this laptop - be nice if I could. Have to check on that.

Back on topic -

bspwm - tiling window manager written by an Arch linux user (dedicated thread on their forum):



Second time I've checked this out. Nice tiler, default layout is unique (see Arch forum for details). Bit tricky to get installed and configured, if I figure some more of it out I'll post some results in the wm thread.

My youngest; who just turned 2 - and our dog; who is coming up on 14. They are bonding this summer which is nice since the dog is really starting to show his age. This may be his last winter:

@lwfitz, dizzie - nice looking desktops.

Some heat issues with the 3.10 kernels, trying an upgrade:

Is that a gimp image in the conkyrc or part of the wallpaper? Or perhaps a lua background.

^ nice - dual monitor setup?

@vastone

I think UMplayer is  a front end for mplayer.

When I run it from a terminal and try to play an audio cd, there are calls to mplayer visible in the terminal -



xine uses its own libraries and I suspect aqualung does as well.
