[12:24] Naughtyboy: notice the foot icon on the menu and when you unpack the "Theme-Pack" is has a Gnome directory in there .... this guy just made the theme for both gnome and xfce but he is running gnome [12:25] aha OK...so GTK works a little different in gnome compared to xfwm4 ..? [12:26] Naughtyboy: no, but Gnome menus are written a little differently than xfce menus ;) [12:27] ok..I see [12:28] Naughtyboy: actually I think Gnome does have some custom gtk extensions that are part of their gnome-libs which is why when we put applications in xubuntu that have gnome-libs the developers remove those dependencies and recompile with the equvalent "pure gtk" libraries === hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-60-32.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu [12:31] maxamillion, ..OK..yeah well..you would know better than me..

Gnome terminal is the one that has a "tabs" menu, not xfce ;) [12:38] w00t....exactly wich one of the words was unfriendly....the D work or the S word ...? [12:38] the D [12:38] the S is tollerable and i don't mind [12:39] ok then...thnx for pointing it out [12:39] i don't think its that bad, but we attempt to appeal to all present or potentially present users .....

[09:08] version: 0.4.1svn-r23151 [09:08] How do I install a newer/better version? [09:09] help- refresh rate reverts back to 60hz, when i want 75hz, i sudo nvida-settings change the refresh rate, restart x and its back to 60hz, took out 1280X1024@60 in xconf too, always changes the metamode back to 60hz [09:09] Hrm. Have you tried 'sudo apt-get upgrade thunar'? [09:09] audo apt-get thunar? [09:09] sudo [09:09] no [09:09] on the site it just says "download" [09:09] Give that a go === R[a] ndom [n=random@bas9-toronto01-1242392908.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #xubuntu [09:09] I'l try [09:09] I prefer to get things through either synaptic or apt-get - it's just easier ^.^ [09:10] apt-get will download and install for you [09:10] it says it doesn't need upgrade [09:10] then u have latest [09:10] There we are, then :) [09:10] What is it about thunar that you don't like? [09:10] but online it says a newer version is available [09:10] it's probably their latest unstable version [09:10] haha [09:10] do you have Thunar? [09:10] I like ik but it is buggy [09:11] how so? [09:11] Unless there's something in the changelog that you explicitly need, i'd just wait until it gets uploaded to the repositories. [09:11] ok [09:11] well [09:11] uhm how do I say it [09:11] left and right hand window [09:11] help- refresh rate reverts back to 60hz, when i want 75hz, i sudo nvida-settings change the refresh rate, restart x and its back to 60hz, took out 1280X1024@60 in xconf too, always changes the metamode back to 60hz [09:11] when I change something in the righthandwindow, the lefthandwindow seems not to get it anymore [09:12] uhm [09:12] many times the same directory displayed [09:12] when you click on it, it goes away. comes back, etc! [09:12] very weird behavior [09:13] but the speed of xubuntu is so good that I want to stay [09:13] although these sorts of things happen [09:14] chewycomp or grayloki, what can I do about the problem? [09:14] Hmm. There are several alternative file managers out and around. XFFM for one, and I think that Konqueror is another one. [09:15] loki u have any ideas about getting my refresh rate to stick? [09:16] xffm, is that quick? [09:16] I don not have a very quick pc [09:16] chewychomp, no, i'd have said, otherwise. [09:16] Have you tried searching the (x)ubuntu forums? [09:16] oh, I searched until I drop [09:16] mlc - I haven't used it, but it's the file manager for XFCE, so i'd imagine it would be fairly fast. === ghetek [n=ghetek@c-76-21-13-110.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:17] well, I try xffm then :) [09:17] how do I use xffm instead of thunar? [09:17] should I uninstaal thunar first? [09:17] I'd leave it, just in case seomthing goes wrong. [09:17] They shouldn't interfere with eah other. [09:17] ok, but how do I choose [09:18] between the two === TeReL50 [n=Yux-L@151-042-128-083.dynamic.caiway.nl] has left #xubuntu ["Read] [09:18] Hrm.

[09:25] I've never heard of a similar bug, but you might try on http://bugs.ubuntu.com [09:25] I have installed xffm4 [09:26] let's see what it does [09:26] mlc: if it's not described there yet, add it -- try to describe the behavior [09:26] oh, ok [09:26] can I post pictures there? And where is it? [09:26] oh sorry [09:26] I see it [09:27] I can not find emelfm2 with apt-cache search emelfm2 [09:27] !! [09:28] thunar is SOO unstable, unbelievable [09:29] I thought it would be so stable to have xubuntu.. :( [09:29] mlc: it's stable for me, and was stable when I used Edgy too [09:29] mlc: it must be something specific to your computer [09:29] hm!
