| Ultraputz | anyone know whether it is possible to style xfce's panels the way the window borders can be styled? | 02:59 |
| favro | have a goggle for gtkrc-2.0 - you can set one up in your home folder to style the panel | 03:12 |
| favro | http://paste.ubuntu.com/47056/ - is my .gtkrc-2.0 file | 03:14 |
| Ultraputz | eep. battery failed. question: is it possible to style the borders of panels the way window borders can be styled in xfce? | 03:32 |
| Odd-rationale | Ultraputz: while you were gone, favro said the following: favro | have a goggle for gtkrc-2.0 - you can set one up in your home folder to style the panel | 03:46 |
| Odd-rationale | favro | http://paste.ubuntu.com/47056/ - is my .gtkrc-2.0 file | 03:47 |
| Ultraputz | thank you! | 03:47 |
| Ultraputz | and it is via this mechanism that you can style the edges of the window? | 03:47 |
| Ultraputz | like, widget_class "*Panel*" style "<thing>" ? | 03:48 |
| Ultraputz | i'm basically wanting to round the edges of the panels, as i don't use them edge-to-edge, but rather foating here and there. | 03:49 |
| Odd-rationale | Ultraputz: you mean like this? http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 03:51 |
| Ultraputz | not exactly, though that's also useful information | 03:52 |
| Ultraputz | i'm referring to the borders -- the box that tha panel is in | 03:52 |
| Ultraputz | the borders of the panel object | 03:52 |
| Ultraputz | not the background image of the panel itself | 03:53 |
| Ultraputz | you can change the borders of windows in xfce, which is separate from the interface theme (gtk) | 03:53 |
| Ultraputz | i was wondering if htere was a way to apply a window border style other than plain box to the panels also | 03:53 |
| cody-somerville | yup | 03:59 |
| Odd-rationale | wb, zoredache | 05:09 |
| Ultraputz | back | 05:23 |
| Geekthras | Well Ubuntu (Xubuntu in fact, though that should make no difference) froze up recently and upon startup dropped to a grub shell of some kind. Poking around, I found it referencing /ubuntu/disks/something, so I booted up Windows and checked this mythical C:/ubuntu/disks/whatever when - lo and behold - I found it was corrupted and unreadable. Do I basically get to reinstall ubuntu? Or is there... | 06:51 |
| Geekthras | ...any way at all to fix this? | 06:51 |
| Geekthras | (reinstalling ubuntu's not a big issue for me, just the data would be nice) | 06:51 |
| Myrtti | Geekthras: so you're using wubi installation, correct? | 06:56 |
| === Geekthras_ is now known as Geekthras | ||
| mandje | hi. i lost the bars on the desktop. :( (wubi install) how can you get them back again? | 08:12 |
| cody-somerville | Press alt + f2 | 08:13 |
| cody-somerville | type in "xfce4-panel" and hit enter | 08:13 |
| mandje | wow! | 08:13 |
| mandje | you spread magick cody-somerville ;) | 08:14 |
| * cody-somerville tries :] | 08:14 | |
| mandje | and i'll make sure i can find this one if it happens again.. look like its some nasty punishment after booting back from windows. ;) | 08:16 |
| cody-somerville | Just make sure to logout correctly and it'll save your session | 08:17 |
| mandje | ok tnx cody-somerville. | 08:18 |

| Guest603 | hello. i just removed ubuntu and installed xubuntu. isthere an exstensive config like gconf for ubuntu? | 09:55 |
| favro | most gets done through the settings manager from the menu | 09:58 |
| Guest603 | well i cant find anything regarding power options. like what cpu frequenzy and what brightness | 09:59 |
| favro | I've never seen anything like that - but then I've never looked for it :) | 10:00 |
| favro | what app did you use in gnome for that ? - just gconf? | 10:01 |
| Guest603 | yes, gcong, then edited gnome-power | 10:01 |
| Guest603 | favro, i used to use gnome, now i did a format and installed xubuntu, so i'm triing to reset everithing up. | 10:02 |
| favro | yeh I got that - I just don't use any apps like that - someone who does might chime in... | 10:02 |
| Guest603 | yes i understand. i havent googled it yet, probably i will find what i need | 10:03 |
| Guest603 | can you tell me how to disable the dan sistem beep also? it beeps very loud and it bothers me | 10:03 |
| Guest603 | scares me also | 10:03 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: there are panel plugins for managing cpu speed and screen brightness, but you can also install gnome-power-manager | 10:04 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: I change the beep sound with: xset b 80 1200 5 | 10:05 |
| Guest603 | TheSheep, the only panel plugin i found preinstalled was cpu governor, but it just lets me choose what to use, not what to do when ac is connected or on battery | 10:05 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: just put it as a command in autostarted applications | 10:05 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: for that you need power manager | 10:05 |
| Guest603 | TheSheep, does it disable it completely? | 10:05 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: put zeroes there to disable it completely | 10:05 |
| Guest603 | xset b 0 0 0? | 10:06 |
| TheSheep | yesh | 10:06 |
| TheSheep | yeah | 10:06 |
| Guest603 | k ,i will try | 10:06 |
| Guest603 | perfect | 10:06 |
| Guest603 | what do those numbers mean? | 10:06 |
| Guest603 | and how do i change the autostarted? it used to be sessions... | 10:07 |
| favro | that's in the settings manager from applications menu | 10:09 |
| === whaletales is now known as aptanet | ||
| TheSheep | Guest603: The first number is for volume, the second pitch and the third duration of the beep. | 10:10 |
| Guest603 | sessions and startup? i dont see anything usefull there... | 10:10 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: "autostarted applications" | 10:10 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: in "settings amanager" | 10:10 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: the very first icon from top left | 10:11 |
| Guest603 | oh my god | 10:11 |
| Guest603 | you are right...sorry, i dont know why my brain just didnt read that | 10:11 |
| TheSheep | :) | 10:11 |
| TheSheep | it takes a while to get rid of old habits | 10:11 |
| Guest603 | yes i know... | 10:12 |
| Guest603 | ok, next thing | 10:12 |
| Guest603 | if i enable composite when i move a window i get smooth movements | 10:12 |
| Guest603 | same thing when scrolling a webpage | 10:12 |
| Guest603 | if i disable it i get something like a slow refresh or something | 10:12 |
| TheSheep | well, composing is one technique of 2d hardware acceleration | 10:13 |
| Guest603 | usually it should be the opposite on problem cards...but mind i installed the latest ati drivers from the site so that the restricted drivers shows in use green, but enable unchecked. do i need to check it? | 10:13 |
| Guest603 | under ubuntu without effects i never experienced it | 10:13 |
| TheSheep | no idea, never had ATI | 10:14 |
| Guest603 | if i check enalbe it installs the fglrx package, should i do that? | 10:14 |
| TheSheep | it shouldn't hurt | 10:14 |
| Guest603 | ok, i will do that later | 10:14 |
| TheSheep | it will provide 3d acceleration | 10:14 |
| Guest603 | but i already have fglrx...or atleast i think because i installed the drivers from the ati page... | 10:15 |
| Guest603 | i will do that anyway...later though | 10:15 |
| Guest603 | let me think of other things | 10:15 |
| TheSheep | ugh, then there may be breakage | 10:15 |
| Guest603 | ah yes, i cant remember what to install for the dvd, mp3, wmv bla bla bla | 10:15 |
| Guest603 | i am doing ubuntu-restricted now, anything else? | 10:16 |
| Guest603 | something of adding medibuntu...but i cant remember | 10:16 |
| TheSheep | it's best to avoid installing from 3rd party sources, the packages from repository often have many ubuntu-specific bugs fixed | 10:16 |
| TheSheep | !medibuntu | 10:16 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 10:16 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: you want libdvdcss2 and w32codecs | 10:17 |
| Guest603 | do i need medibuntu for ubuntu-restricted-extras? i dont think so, because it is downloading now... | 10:17 |
| Guest603 | so once i install ubuntu-restricted and libdvdcss and w32codecs i'm set? | 10:17 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: I think so | 10:18 |
| Guest603 | perfect | 10:18 |
| Guest603 | i will do that | 10:18 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: not sure whether java is included in ubuntu-restricted | 10:18 |
| Guest603 | TheSheep, it is, it is downloading now | 10:19 |
| Guest603 | jsut another thing i jsut saw. to add medibuntu to the list i do sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list. is that final medibuntu.list correct? | 10:19 |
| Guest603 | shouldnt it be sources? | 10:20 |
| TheSheep | no, the directory is sources, the file extension is .list | 10:20 |
| Guest603 | so i will add that | 10:20 |
| Guest603 | can i do it while i'm installing ubuntu-restricted? | 10:20 |
| Guest603 | or should i finish that and then do it? | 10:21 |
| TheSheep | it dowanloads that firle and puts it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 10:21 |
| TheSheep | you can dowload that file now, but to run update you need to wait until it finishes | 10:21 |
| Guest603 | oh, btw, i really appreciate you peoples help | 10:21 |
| TheSheep | thans | 10:22 |
| TheSheep | thanks | 10:22 |
| Guest603 | so are there any big differences between ubuntu and xubuntu, apart from missing gnome, that i should know of? | 10:22 |
| Guest603 | like something that might prevent me from doing what i used to do with ubuntu? | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: thunar can't browse samba shares natively | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | (thunar is the file manager) | 10:23 |
| Guest603 | yes yes | 10:23 |
| Guest603 | that was the answer i was looking for. anything else? | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | there is no default music player, totem is used instead | 10:23 |
| TheSheep | you can install a music player of choice though | 10:24 |
| Guest603 | so when i click on an mp3 i get totem...correct? | 10:24 |
| TheSheep | openoffice is not installed by default, there is abiword and gnumeric instead, they are much simpler and can't open powerpoint presentations | 10:24 |
| TheSheep | Guest603: yes | 10:24 |
| Guest603 | totem isnt bad...and i noticed abiword, can it handle docx files? | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | yeah | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | and it... simplifies the .doc files it loads | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | but you can install openoffice | 10:25 |
| Guest603 | simplifies? | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | removes some formatting it cannot handle | 10:26 |
| Guest603 | openoffice natively doesnt do that? | 10:26 |
| TheSheep | if it does, it's to a much smaller degree, because openoffice can handle much more | 10:26 |
| Guest603 | ok, then i will get openoffice | 10:27 |
| Guest603 | another thing i just thought about | 10:27 |
| Guest603 | keyboard shortcuts like launching a terminal with the play button, can i do that? | 10:27 |
| Guest603 | terminal or some other app | 10:27 |
| TheSheep | yes, in settings manager->keyboard | 10:27 |
| Guest603 | i will look now | 10:27 |
| TheSheep | but you have to make sure your eyboard type is selected properly, default keyboard type doesn't have multimedia keys | 10:28 |
| TheSheep | s/type/layout | 10:28 |
| Guest603 | that would be keyboard map? like default or emacs? | 10:28 |
| TheSheep | no, the last tab, 'layout' | 10:29 |
| Guest603 | use x config is selected | 10:29 |
| TheSheep | and what does it say in the grayed out area? | 10:29 |
| Guest603 | generic 105 | 10:29 |
| Guest603 | us layout | 10:29 |
| TheSheep | you might need to change it | 10:30 |
| TheSheep | if your multimedia eys don't work | 10:30 |
| TheSheep | keys | 10:30 |
| Guest603 | i will add a shortcut and try the multimedia keys | 10:30 |
| Guest603 | if it doesnt work i will try another layout | 10:30 |
| Guest603 | and what is the terminal called? for theese kind of problems i would open the menu editor and look at it, but in xfce i cant do taht for applications... | 10:31 |
| TheSheep | xfce4-terminal | 10:33 |
| Guest603 | thanks | 10:34 |
| TheSheep | gotta run | 10:34 |
| Guest603 | i add the shortcut, then it asks me to push the desired shortcut. i press the multimedia and it closes the window, but it doesnt set the key | 10:34 |
| Guest603 | ok, thanks again for your help | 10:35 |

| cody-somerville | Hi | 16:22 |
| cody-somerville | RickZilla, no, it won't run on 256k of RAM | 16:22 |
| cody-somerville | RickZilla, I'm not sure of many things that would :P | 16:23 |
| dick | used to gnome here. In Nautilus > preference one can assign what appllication opens what files.. i don't see the corresponding in thunar. Can somoene please tell me how that is done in xfce, please? | 16:23 |
| cody-somerville | Applications > Settings > Settings Manager, Preferred Applications | 16:24 |
| B3ny0- | yes it will | 16:24 |
| dick | thx, cody-somerville | 16:24 |
| cody-somerville | B3ny0-, hmm? | 16:24 |
| B3ny0- | he's probably typed it wrong, 256k RAM isn't even possible for his computer specs :) | 16:25 |
| dick | cody-somerville, its not there. bear in mind that i am in xubuntu 7.10 | 16:25 |
| cody-somerville | B3ny0-, Indeed :] | 16:26 |
| cody-somerville | dick, http://cody.zapto.org/screenshots/preferred-applications.png | 16:27 |
| dick | cody-somerville, ok, i found preferred applications but it only assigns which app will browse and email. I need to assign an application to play cd's and dvd's | 16:28 |
| cody-somerville | Okay | 16:28 |
| cody-somerville | You'll want to look at the volume manager | 16:28 |
| dick | lets see | 16:29 |
| dick | where is volume manager - sorry | 16:31 |
| dick | and why would volume manager be the place to assing whether totem or vlc plays audio or avi? | 16:31 |
| cody-somerville | "Removable drives and media" is the option you want to click | 16:32 |
| dick | and where is that? | 16:32 |
| cody-somerville | Take a look at the same screenshot :P | 16:33 |
| RickZilla | Yikes...sorry, how about 256M RAM? :-) | 16:33 |
| cody-somerville | Yes, it'll run :) | 16:34 |
| RickZilla | So with that in mind...is Ubuntu even possible? Or should I just stick wtih xubuntu? | 16:36 |
| dick | cody-somerville, yea, like i said unfortunately your settings manager and mine don't look the same. i'm running xubuntu 7.10 which is why Does this mean i cannot assing applications to play audio or movie files? What is happening here is that i cannot play dvd?? | 16:37 |
| cody-somerville | RickZilla, Your call :) | 16:38 |
| cody-somerville | RickZilla, I have a high tolerance for slow computers :P | 16:38 |
| dick | hehe :p | 16:38 |
| dick | also i installed rhythmbox which i see in applications menu but it won't load when i click on it | 16:40 |
| cody-somerville | Try starting it from the command line | 16:42 |
| cody-somerville | should give an error | 16:42 |
| dick | cody-somerville, like totem /media/cdrom ? | 16:44 |
| dick | how do i start it from command line? | 16:44 |
| dick | or do you mean start rhythmbox from command line? | 16:44 |
| cody-somerville | just type "rhythmbox" at the command line. | 16:44 |
| cody-somerville | right | 16:44 |
| dick | k | 16:44 |

| frenzy42 | how do you change system sounds in xubuntu | 17:59 |
| vinnl | What do you mean by system sounds? | 18:00 |
| frenzy42 | like enable different sounds for different actions and take away that system beep | 18:01 |
| vinnl | frenzy42, you can Google on how to disable the system beep... I don't know about different sounds | 18:01 |
| vinnl | Perhaps that's some accesibility setting | 18:01 |
| TheSheep | there are no "sounds for different actions" | 18:01 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu doesn't have sounds | 18:02 |
| TheSheep | xfce doesn't have sounds | 18:02 |
| vinnl | TheSheep, isn't there some GTK setting to make a sound when browsing menus or something? That sounds like something it could have :P | 18:02 |
| frenzy42 | i see | 18:02 |
| zoredache | xfce is light-weight for a reason... Playing sounds each time I do something would waste cpu time | 18:02 |
| frenzy42 | well then good! | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | frenzy42: you can disbale or change the system bell with xset b command | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | frenzy42: like on the bottom of this page: http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l19/lesson19k.html | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | frenzy42: you can put it in autostarted applications in your settings manager | 18:03 |
| frenzy42 | ok | 18:04 |
| frenzy42 | in command do i just type xset b off or terminal xset b off | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | frenzy42: I don't understand | 18:06 |
| frenzy42 | when i set a auto started app | 18:09 |
| frenzy42 | it asks me for a name, description and a command | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | xset b off | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | the latter makes totally no sense | 18:10 |
| frenzy42 | ok | 18:11 |
| Woo | Uh... Where is the restore button from the trash? | 18:22 |
| vinnl | Woo, right-click | 18:23 |
| Woo | And then? | 18:24 |
| vinnl | Restore, I believe | 18:24 |
| Woo | 2http://bildr.no/view/255170 | 18:25 |
| Woo | http://bildr.no/view/255170 | 18:25 |
| vinnl | Open with Nautilus? :P | 18:25 |
| Woo | What is Nautilus? | 18:25 |
| vinnl | Woo, it's the GNOME file manager (like Thunar is Xfce's) - it's in your screenshot | 18:26 |
| vinnl | Woo, are you sure that's a screenshot of Thunar? | 18:26 |
| Woo | Now I am taken to the contents of the folder | 18:26 |
| Woo | that is a screenshot from when I right click my folders in trash | 18:27 |
| vinnl | Woo, can you show a screenshot of the whole screen? | 18:27 |
| Woo | ok | 18:27 |
| Woo | http://bildr.no/view/255174 | 18:28 |
| vinnl | Woo, here's mine: http://bildr.no/view/255175 | 18:28 |
| vinnl | Woo, ah, you're using Ubuntu | 18:29 |
| vinnl | I'd ask the question in #ubuntu | 18:29 |
| Woo | #ubuntu is too crowded :) | 18:29 |
| vinnl | Yeah but people use Xubuntu in here :P | 18:30 |
| Woo | i have yet to find a problem that xubuntu can't solve in ubuntu | 18:30 |
| vinnl | Woo, at least Xubuntu can restore :P | 18:30 |
| vinnl | Though I'm sure Ubuntu can too, somewhere | 18:30 |
| Woo | xubuntu didn't work as i would like it to when i tried it in the first place | 18:33 |
| Woo | can't remember what | 18:33 |
| vinnl | Hehe, perhaps you ought to give it another try ;-) | 18:34 |
| Woo | nah, i'm really tired of this [shit] | 18:35 |
| Woo | *buntu | 18:35 |
| vinnl | Tired as in been spending your whole day in it and needing some sleep, or tired as in not being used to it and going back to Windows or whatever? | 18:36 |
| cody-somerville | Nautlius doesn't have restore from trash feature | 18:36 |
| Woo | that's really amazing :D | 18:36 |
| Woo | we're in 2008 | 18:36 |
| Woo | now i don't know what to do | 18:37 |
| vinnl | cody-somerville, doesn't it? 0.o | 18:37 |
| cody-somerville | I'm pretty sure it doesn't. | 18:37 |
| vinnl | Oh, that's right, now I remember | 18:37 |
| vinnl | Nautilus had a very backwards trash implementation | 18:37 |
| Woo | because i don't have enough space to move the 24gb files from the trash to either drive | 18:37 |
| vinnl | I daresay restore is more important than Samba-sharing :P | 18:38 |
| Woo | thing is, because my disk somehow did not mount last night when i was happy to go to sleep thinking everything finally worked, it assigned /storage to the system drive | 18:38 |
| Woo | then all of a sudden my torrent client recognized that | 18:38 |
| Woo | and started downloading like 10-15gb over the night | 18:39 |
| vinnl | xD | 18:39 |
| Woo | i just mounted the /storage disk back on, and did a force recheck | 18:40 |
| Woo | i noticed i only had 4gb available to the system drive now, and dismounted to delete everything in /storage downloaded over the night | 18:40 |
| Woo | i mounted it back on, and all the folders were gone | 18:41 |
| Woo | so now there isn't enough space to move the data back on either drive | 18:41 |
| Woo | I miss how disks are mounted in Windows | 18:43 |
| vinnl | Which is...? | 18:43 |
| Woo | X:\ | 18:43 |
| Woo | oh hey... can i install the window managment system xubuntu have, log off gnome and on the xubuntu thing to restore my stuff? | 18:44 |
| vinnl | Woo, I don't think so | 18:44 |
| vinnl | I'm not sure how Nautilus stores stuff to trash, but I believe it's different from Thunar's method | 18:44 |
| Woo | what is the best distro for me anyyway? desktop edition, will run as server only (desktop is easier to config), easy to share in windows and auto update | 18:53 |
| vinnl | What do you mean by desktop edition? | 18:54 |
| vinnl | Until it sounds like Ubuntu is a good fit :P | 18:54 |
| Woo | Ubuntu: stops streaming after 1-2 secs often, awful configuration for windows share, lets me have one connection only to share files (ie marking a folder causes the transfer to crash), auto update doesn't work properly, add/remove doesn't work properly (crashes often), doesn't start partitioning easily... | 18:55 |
| vinnl | Perhaps Debian is better for you | 18:57 |
| Woo | I said user friendly :P | 18:57 |
| Woo | and desktop edition | 18:57 |
| vinnl | Debian is quite easy to use, isn't it? | 18:57 |
| vinnl | Or perhaps Fedora? | 18:57 |
| vinnl | Note: I've only used Ubuntu and Xubuntu | 18:57 |
| Woo | Just look at the introduction site for Debian | 18:57 |
| Woo | it's not indended for average joe | 18:58 |
| Woo | also ubuntu didn't want to mount my external drive today... yay | 18:59 |
| vinnl | Well, I suppose you could give Fedora a try then | 18:59 |
| Woo | No, I have Ubuntu installed now. I find it best not to have further downtime :) | 19:00 |
| Woo | And I have confidence my problems will be fixed within 10 years in open source spirit :P | 19:00 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 19:01 |
| Woo | Although I haven't found anyone with the same problems as me | 19:01 |
| vinnl | Yeah it's odd indeed | 19:02 |
| vinnl | You might want to report problems at bugs.ubuntu.com and see if they can help you there | 19:02 |
| Woo | Sounds like too much typing :P | 19:02 |
| vinnl | :P | 19:03 |
| vinnl | It might help other people ^.^ | 19:03 |
| Woo | I was going to submit a bug for Pidgin | 19:04 |
| vinnl | Great :) | 19:04 |
| Woo | but there were so many clicks, a long submission and too much hassle | 19:04 |
| Woo | I did in the end, and it would seem no one wanted what I wanted | 19:04 |
| Woo | I want to select where I store the chatlogs | 19:04 |
| vinnl | *sigh* :P | 19:05 |
| vinnl | Isn't that possible? | 19:05 |
| Woo | I don't think so, might be a year ago since I tried | 19:05 |
| Woo | Can you check? | 19:05 |
| vinnl | Sure | 19:06 |
| Woo | Also a *buntu bug, my friends laptop died after he rebooted from Kubuntu :D | 19:06 |
| Woo | It killed his GPU somehow | 19:06 |
| vinnl | You sure it wasn't just at the end of its lifetime? :) | 19:07 |
| vinnl | Woo, nope, I don't see that option | 19:09 |
| vinnl | You could try a link from Pidgin's log folder to wherever you want them :P | 19:10 |
| Woo | It was under a year old, and worked fine before that | 19:15 |
| Woo | I want it since I keep my logs for years, I don't keep my OS installations for years | 19:16 |
| Woo | Anyway, I'll go play some COD4 now | 19:17 |
| Woo | Oh yeah, HAHA, look who can't :P | 19:17 |
| Woo | with good FPS, good support etc | 19:17 |
| B3ny0- | I find it pretty hard to believe that kubuntu killed the gpu | 19:19 |
| B3ny0- | probably a manufacturing fault | 19:19 |
| B3ny0- | was it perhaps an nvidia chipset? they had lots of problems with their mobile gpus, especially 8 and 9-series of geforce | 19:19 |
| zoredache | is there a way to prevent an application fo taking the focus? (pidgin) | 21:58 |
| DFlame | you could try enabling "hide new conversation windows" in pidgin interface settings. try changing it to always | 22:01 |
| zoredache | DFlame: that is a better... still not perfect though... | 22:04 |
| DFlame | best i can do for now | 22:04 |
| DFlame | ooh | 22:04 |
| DFlame | try applications > settings manager > Window Manager... | 22:05 |
| DFlame | uncheck "automatically give focus to newly created windows" | 22:05 |
| zoredache | I like that behavior.... I think I found what I need though | 22:08 |
| DFlame | good stuff | 22:08 |
| zoredache | the coversation windows hiding when combined with the libnotify pidgin plugin may give me the behavior I want | 22:09 |
