(That's my term - sorry - I don't know the terminology very well. I would say you are making a "category mistake" but perhaps that would require too tangential a discussion for this thread.) I don't know very much about this - certai (HowTos)

I'm a newer to awesome .there's only one window manager awesome in my linux without any desktop environment(KDE GNOME...) or  display manager(gdm kdm...etc) ,but I encountered a problem :  there's no sound when playing music  in the awesome environment ,but it sounds  when switch to  anoter tty  on which the user of awesome DE has logined.It's real

My window manager seems to have broke (xfce). I don't see windows around borders, the mouse doesn't display, and i cannot open the "window manager" settings from the menu (the xorg text tty says my window manager is unknown). The panel still loads but doesn't display my desktops correctly (only shows 1, i have 2). How can i find out why this might have happened?

Here's a strange little problem that's cropped up for me since I installed the XFCE desktop environment (I am running standard Ubuntu 12.04 but used the repositories to get XFCE)

As is the default, I use Thunar as my file manager. I set Nautilus as preferred file manager briefly to see if it would fix the problem, but no luck.

"The" keyboard and "the" mouse 44 weeks 6 days ago

The thread http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=282147, which I don't know how to answer, brings up the question of how "the" keyboard and "the" mouse are determined when a system has more than one keyboard and mouse attached to it.

I would love to be able to add "recently used" to my panel, gut I can't figure out where to find it. It shows up when I go to save a file or image, but if I open window manager, it's not there. Is there a way to have "recently used" available? I appear to need it more often than I care to admit.
