+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
| Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Xfce desktop is composed of 2 meta-packages:
|
|
* xfce, for a base Xfce installation
|
|
* xfce-extras, for a full Xfce installation.
|
|
|
|
Startup
|
|
=======
|
|
Xfce desktop environment is launched through the 'startxfce4' script.
|
|
Simply add '${LOCALBASE}/bin/startxfce4' to your .xinitrc/.xsession
|
|
script if you use startx, xdm or slim.
|
|
If you use gdm or kdm, have a look at
|
|
http://wiki.xfce.org/faq#starting_xfce. An xfce4.desktop file is
|
|
provided for use by gdm.
|
|
|
|
Logging out and shutting down the computer
|
|
==========================================
|
|
If your installation supports complete shutdown, clicking on the logout
|
|
button on panel will permit you to either logout, rebooting or halt
|
|
the computer, provided you have the needed sudo credentials.
|
|
If you don't want to have to enter your password, simply add this line
|
|
to the /etc/sudoers file using visudo:
|
|
|
|
$your_username ALL=NOPASSWD: ${LOCALBASE}/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper
|
|
|
|
An alternative is to use consolekit and policykit, but you'll need to
|
|
run a systemwide D-BUS service (add dbus_daemon to pkg_scripts in
|
|
rc.local) and pass --with-ck-launch argument to startxfce4. If you run
|
|
a systemwide D-BUS service, have consolekit/policykit installed and
|
|
don't use --with-ck-launch you will not be able to shutdown/reboot.
|
|
|
|
Power management
|
|
================
|
|
If you use Xfce on a laptop, you can install xfce4-power-manager
|
|
package, which will provide battery levels/information, and will allow
|
|
to configure actions upon low battery level or AC plugging. If using
|
|
consolekit and policykit, it will also allow you to suspend the laptop
|
|
from the logout dialog.
|
|
|
|
Screensaver management
|
|
======================
|
|
xflock4 can make use of xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver. If installed,
|
|
a 'Screensaver' icon will appear in settings manager/menu. Otherwise,
|
|
xflock4 defaults to call xlock.
|
|
|
|
Thunar file manager tips
|
|
========================
|
|
If you want to browse samba shares using GVfs, you'll need to install
|
|
gvfs-smb package. You can also try gigolo package, which is a GUI to
|
|
configure GVfs mounts.
|
|
You can have a look at hotplugd(8) if you want some kind of auto-mount
|
|
feature in thunar, provided natively by gudev on Linux and FreeBSD.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Terminal, special characters and localized applications
|
|
=======================================================
|
|
If you use a particular non-ascii encoding and have problems seeing
|
|
special characters in terminal (like accentued characters in french),
|
|
you should add this line to your .xinitrc/.xsession before startxfce4:
|
|
|
|
export LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO8859-15
|
|
|
|
where LC_CTYPE is defined by <language>_<country>.<encoding>.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if you want localized graphical applications, add this line
|
|
too:
|
|
|
|
export LC_MESSAGES=fr
|
|
|
|
where 'fr' is your language tag.
|
|
See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#locales for more information
|
|
on that topic.

|
|
are the best resources for user-level documentation.
