yes, this is what upstream wants. If you run nautilus, it will take
over and you will have to re-run xfdesktop if you want it to take back
control. I guess the reasoning is that it has no way of knowing which
one you want to control the desktop, or way of detecting when
something like nautilus is finished.
Indeed. But this shouldn't be that way, there should be some collaboration
among desktop managers. Not something relevant here, though.
I can enable it for Terminal, but exo doesn't have an editor or
File
manager pref I don't think.
For the file manager it doesn't matter, since thunar is rightly pulled
as a dependency and is tightly associated with xfce.
In older Xfce they were set to other apps, like openoffice for
editor. :(
That's equally bad. What about 'xterm -e vi' ;-). This should certainly
be reported upstream.
My personal opinion would be to add mousepad and Terminal Requires to
the panel in the mean time.
The only remaining package needed I think is xfce-dev-tools, which
is
under review now. (Thats needed for some of the plugins).
That's strange. Why is it needed? It's only a bunch of autoconf
macros... For which package is this needed?
