http://www.linuxquestions.org – Published at LXer: If you've read me long enough, you know I am a desktop junkie. Much to Jaqui's chagrin, I do love my desktops. So much so I could have a different desktop every day and still not be completely happy. During my trials and tribulations with the Linux desktop I have, surprisingly, missed the whole Xfce train. Why? I have no idea. I've known of it, I've used it briefly, and never really thought much more about it. That is, until recently. (HowTos)

Xfce desktop icons 39 weeks 1 day ago

Hello guys, I have fedora 17. Just recently I moved to Xfce from Kde, since I have read that it is much faster. Indeed, I have realized that Xfce works faster in my old computer now and I find it more comfortable in many aspects. However the problem I faced is my desktop icons disappeared.

Recently i decided to try MATE. I had XFCE installed. So I ran:

Code: yum install @mate-desktop I did not like it. Anyway, I though Code: yum remove @mate-desktop would uninstall JUST mate. But I realized mate and xfce share some dependencies. My desktop crashed.

I need help for uninstall MATE from any way and keep XFCE.
