XFCE installation in dom0

Disclaimer: XFCE isn't fully integrated with Qubes environment, it still requires 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 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
