[04:09] <ahhughes> does mythbuntu 11.04 use gnome as its window manager (correct me if I have said something stupid)?
[04:11] <tgm4883> ahhughes, nope
[04:11] <tgm4883> it uses xfce
[04:12] <ahhughes> hmmmm, would that preclude me from opening a gnome gui (again correct my if Im a stoopid noob)?
[04:14] <ahhughes> I appear to launch all sorts of gnome gui apps like eog, and do.
[04:14] <mrand> ahhughes: it should not block you from using/launching any window manger you like.
[04:14] <ahhughes> sweet, that rules out theory #6 for me :)
[04:15] <mrand> Of course, it doesn't come on the mythbuntu disk, so you need to install it ;-)
[04:16] <ahhughes> is there a gnome equivalent to this that I can install http://www.xfce.org/projects/xfce4-settings ?
[04:16] <Zinn> [www.xfce.org] What is the Settings Manager? - Xfce
[04:17] <ahhughes> because all the ubuntu doco e.t.c. that I read refers to Applicaiton -> Settings -> Prefereces e.t.c. and they are not part of mytbuntu's xfce settings.
[04:18] <mrand> ahhughes: sorry, don't know.  If you have infinite patience, you can wait around here to see if someone answers you, but it make take infinite time.  I'd go looking on the ubuntu forums personally.
[04:22] <ahhughes> yeah, looking of forums is something Im comfortable with... its a little hard when you don't know what to look for... but I'll get there :)
[04:31] <superm1> ahhughes, you are best off reading xubuntu documentation
[04:31] <superm1> it's closer to the way mythbuntu is set up
[04:31] <superm1> ubuntu stuff is gonna be outdated anyway for this release with the unity switchover
[04:53] <ahhughes> this is all because I am trying to get touchegg working.... which I think is pretty $#&*@# impressive :)
