XFCE installation in dom0
2012-10-24 11:37:00 -04:00
========================
**Disclaimer: XFCE isn't fully integrated with Qubes environment, it still require notable amount of manual configuration after install**
Requirements (as of 10/24/2012):
- qubes-core-dom0-2.0.37 (not released yet, possible to build from "master" branch of marmarek's repo)
Installation:
qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable @XFCE

Then you need to create /etc/sysconfig/desktop to stay with KDM, as GDM still starts invalid Xorg startup script:
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE

Reboot the system. At system startup, select "Xfce session" in login screen (menu on the right bottom corner of the screen).
Configuration
-------------
Things needs/recommended to be done:
- remove some useless entries from menu and panel, especially file manager, web browser
- create own favorites menu (currently standard XFCE menu isn't modified to use per-VM subsections, which makes it very inconvenient):
