XFCE installation in dom0
========================
**Disclaimer: The article is obsolete for Qubes OS 3.2 and later.**
Prior to R3.2, KDE was the default desktop environment in Qubes. Beginning with
R3.2 [XFCE is the new default desktop environment](/doc/releases/3.2/release-notes/) and does not require manual installation.
Installation:
sudo qubes-dom0-update @xfce-desktop-qubes
Reboot the system. At system startup, select "Xfce session" in login screen (menu on the right bottom corner of the screen).
Configuration
-------------
Things needed/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):
1. create `~/.config/menus/favorites.menu`, example content:
~~~
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
<Menu>
<Name>Favorites</Name>
<DefaultAppDirs/>
<DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
<Directory>favorites.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<Filename>personal-gnome-terminal.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>personal-firefox.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>work-gnome-terminal.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>work-firefox.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>mail-mozilla-thunderbird.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>mail-gnome-terminal.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>banking-mozilla-firefox.desktop</Filename>
<Filename>untrusted-firefox.desktop</Filename>
</Include>
</Menu>
~~~
2. add it to the panel: right click on panel, "add new items", select "XFCE menu", choose custom menu file - just created one
