Comments on: Xfce 4.6.0 released (and ready for testing!) http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2009/02/xfce-4-6-0-released-and-ready-for-testing/ All composite phenomena are impermanent. All contaminated things and events are unsatisfactory.

Xfce emits a Shutdown signal via DBus and ends. If the signal is blocked by PolicyKit, no shutdown occurs and you are thrown back into KDM. @jaylinux53

I find that on logging out with the button on the panel (default panel button on extreme right of panel), & clicking 'Shutdown' from the pop-up box that appears; it takes me to the initial KDM Login Screen. Is there a method to shut down directly from Xfce itself ? Thanks. I have just upgraded to Xfce 4.6 on openSUSE 11.1, 32-bit.

I found that when I place my cursor in the "Other" ("Choose a different account") frame in the openSUSE logon dialog box, an option appears at the bottom of the screen that enables me to switch to Xfce, which I am now experimenting with. Thank you. @JPNewbie

It installed smoothly, but I cannot find a way to switch from Gnome to Xfce. You advised Remy "just logout from your GNOME session and pick Xfce session in login manager (GDM). There should be combobox or other picker somewhere …" but I cannot find any such option after restarting or after logging out and back in. Do you have a tip form me? Many thanks.

So, once every thing uninstall through Yast, and your command line installation restart, everything works well : I just shutdown the system and it automatically restart on the Xfce GUI. Conclusion with a 1200MHz Laptop on 128Mo(RAM), it works incredibly well and fast in comparison with Gnome !

The GnomeTerminal told me the install is complete. But no way to launch XFCE (I'm a linux beginner !!) when I restart. I don't know neither how to configure the GDM you're talking about above... Thanks for your help ^^ Hi Pavol,
