Re: [rox-devel] [ANNOUNCE] rox-desktop for debian now with automounting

[Dan M. <da...@ya...>]

Excellent work Dennis!

I'm very happy with my Debian/ROX desktop- IMO this is
a very important development in the world of FOSS as
we now have a FAST, fully-featured, easy to use
desktop that doesn't require obscene amounts of RAM.
It's the X desktop I've wanted for over a decade-
can't wait to run this on the Zaurus and PS3!

There are just a few things I'd like to see changed/
implemented before I reach desktop nirvana :)

* The panel is the right size now and the clock works
(as does setting the time) but because the desktop
switcher it vertically orientated it is now almost
invisible. There doesn't seem to be an option to have
it horizontal which is what I'd prefer.

* In the previous release, the log-out icon was in the
bottom-left of the screen on the panel but now its
become an icon on the desktop which seems strange.
Please move this back onto the panel please!

* Its a minor niggle but the fact that the taskbar
gets moved slightly, constantly due to the seconds
display on the clock changing is bound to irritate
someone

* Removeable discs- Dennis tells me that ROX-filer
currently lacks the ability to have different icons
for USB discs vs optical discs. That would be nice, as
would the ability to mouse-over the removeable icons
and see the device name, mount point, free and used
space on the device.

Thats it for the moment. My only other question is how
do I make a link on the desktop to an app such as
synaptic which requires gksu to be run first? I tried
dragging /usr/sbin/synaptic on the desktop,
right-clicking -> Edit item and then changing
'Clicking the icon opens' to 'gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic'
but that didn't work.

Whoever maintains the ROX homepage needs to update the
Debian install instructions now.

RanOtiX (Kanotix w/ ROX) anybody?
