Compiz & The Notification Panel On XFCE
Submitted by ThistleWeb on Fri, 11/20/2009 - 13:43I stumbled upon a minor but irritating bug / quirk with Xubuntu Karmic 9.10 with Compiz and the panel / notification area over ruling each other. It comes down to which one loads first. I noticed that some applications like Audacious had their status icon active but invisible. You could click on where the icon should be and it'd act as if it was there, you just couldn't see it.
Hollywood Linux
Submitted by ThistleWeb on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 15:05Yesterdays post about Ice Age 3 being partly created on an XFCE desktop got me thinking that there must be many more examples of this in TV scenes, movie scenes, DVD extras, music videos, news broadcasts etc. So I set up a Photobucket group album called Hollywood Linux for people to add to with their examples.
Ice Age 3 - Created Partly On An XFCE Desktop
Submitted by ThistleWeb on Wed, 09/30/2009 - 19:55When you have a passion or interest in one thing, your attention is drawn to it when you see it. By that I mean those who are interested in PC's, OS's (Operating Systems) etc tend to be drawn towards them when we see them in the background of interviews, TV and movie scenes etc I remember many years ago, the PC on the Daniels family sitting room in the Aussie soap Neighbours was always turned so you never saw the screen. One day the camera panned too far and you saw a Commodore Amiga hand boot screen.
Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" XCFE CE Review
Submitted by ThistleWeb on Fri, 09/18/2009 - 03:13For the last couple of days I've been left wondering if my mind is leaking, and transmitting what I like in a Linux distro as the latest Linux Mint XFCE CE (Community Edition) "Gloria" (it's the first time I've called a Mint edition by it's name, I usually use it's number) seems to hit almost every spot straight out the box.
