------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-12 09:09 ------- If you install a distribution, start a windowmanager, try to change the colors or even just move the taskbar and get an "Unable to write file" error the it _is_ a bug. And the %post solution doesn't apply when installing a distro from scratch Aunt Betty shouldn't have to learn that to avoid an error message everytime she exits, she has to start an xterm and type a cryptic command. And c'mon; there's three lines of shellscript code to fix it, we're not talking rocket science here. You only have to create the directory if it doesn't exist (I realized it's unnecessery to run xfce_setup): if [ ! -d $HOME/.xfce ]; then mkdir $HOME/.xfce fi This doesn't affect upgrading (which the xfce_startup solution didn't either) since it only runs at startup if the user doesn't have a .xfce directory, it doesn't affect startup time in any practical sense and it gets rid of an error message. And if no other distro does this, then they have a bug too. Peder ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: The first time a user starts XFce xfce_setup isn't run, resulting in a missing $HOME/.xfce. So when configuring or exiting XFce can't save its files.
