I have tried xfce and I believe that its a great great desktop environment, However I am restricted in using that for a couple of reasons. 1) It does not seem to have a good network manager. the network manager in gnome lets us define some profiles for different networks and you can switch them easily. For eg I have a static IP address at home and DHCP at my college. In gnome I can make two profiles for both and switch them on the fly. XFCE has that? Thunar is a great browser but it lacks in tabbed browsing. I cannot open tabs in thunar. Also it does not have a network bookmark on the left pane to browse the network. Nautlus is great but then why do I install gnome dependency on xfce? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
