As a side note: Yakuake (drop down terminal application) requires Konsole which in turn requires a kde-baseapps install.

I found a thread in the Xfce forum that contained a workable solution: 1) From the settings menu select 'Session and Startup' 2) Select the 'Application Autostart' tab 3) Click the 'Add' button 4) Use whatever Name and Description you see fit 5) Enter /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps&quo...

I would like to change my key bindings so my Caps Lock key will function as my Cntrl key and my Cntrl key will function as my Caps Lock key. I have not had any success reading the XFCE documentation, it mentions an xfce4-xkb-plugin and I see it is installed but I have no idea how to access it, (trie...

All thaat said, if you've got multilib set up, add a regexp or two to the EXCLUDE line and you won't be troubled by updates. You may also have some success adding Alien Bob's repository, with CUSTOM priority. Well, the only real thing I've decided, is to not give up. I think I'm leaning toward keep...

Don't worry, we are working on it and it will be before mid-year, but not so shortly Ok, I get it, I know exactly what you mean, at least I think so, ..well maybe, ...kinda? :? ;) There is also slackel, which is KDE-based (and now Openbox, too). Search this forum or the web for more information. Ye...

Will there be new desktop editions of Salix 14.0 coming out like the one's currently available in 13.37? I am particularly interested in KDE. If yes, can you give any rough estimate as to a time line. I understand and appreciate the "when it's ready" principal, just looking for a rough app...
