Even if huge numbers of people had not fled GNOME, once GNOME 3 for
foisted on us, I would still think that Robert's complaint &
suggestion are valid.
I switched to Xfce when I started working on armv7 boards. At first
that was the only desktop available (back on F17?). I switched my
X86_64 notebook to it to get longer battery life.
So far, on F29-armhfp I have had to fix SELinux issues per:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577511
I will file a bug report on this.
Now that I have gotten past the pid permissions problem, I am reviewing
a lot of different sources as to what to put in xstartup.
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startxfce4 &
Is not enough...
I have to read a number of responses from the Fedora users list and hope
to find what works now...
If anyone knows it, please send it
thanks
