For me the problem was the way I was trying to run Compiz on top of xfce. I've now abandoned compiz and have had no further problems with keyboard shortcuts.

After upgrading from Natty to Oneiric I'm finding that my theme isn't being applied to all applications. In particular, gedit and rhythmbox. No idea where to start looking for a fix. Is anyone else...

This seems to be a fix for a problem in xfce 4.6 that is not needed in 4.8. It certainly doesn't fix my problem.

Thanks for trying though.

Keyboard shortcuts work for me if I've been using something that expects keyboard input (terminal, writer etc), but if I've most recently been using something that uses mouse only input the system...

An easy solution is to use a different window-decorater.

If you install compiz and ccsm from the repos open ccsm, go into the Window Decoration plugin and type, "gtk-window-decorator" where it...

I've been having similar problems. I haven't got to the bottom of it, but removing the proprietary nvidia drivers and then reinstalling them seemed to fix it for me.

I did all the removing and...

I've just bought a new android phone. When I plug it into the computer, thunar (I'm using xubuntu) opens and mounts it automatically. This is good. However, if I've got Rhythmbox running, it also...

Thanks for replying.

I want the notifications!

I'm also getting these extra dialog windows. Those are what I want to get rid of.

I've been using mail-notification from the repos for ages to monitor my gmail account with no problems. Since I upgraded to Karmic, it's been popping up an irritating dialog window whenever a new...

Unfortunately it doesn't. That thread is concerned with getting the thesaurus working assuming you already have the UK spell checker working. My problem is with the spell checker. Thanks for trying...

Anyone know how to get OO to spellcheck in a language other than US English?

I can select UK English as my default language, but when I do there's no little spellcheck symbol next to it (as there...

No, I gave up. I haven't tried it in ages. A newer version of wine might have solved the problem I suppose.

There's no real need. If you go into the settings manager -> desktop you'll see you can create lists of wallpapers for XFCE to switch between.

Once a file as has been set up, adding the command...

tool -> autocorrect -> Options tab. Untick "Apply numbering - symbol.

No problem.

If you've downloaded the file and extracted it, you must have told the system where to extract it to. You've probably found that using Nautilus. If you click on the extracted folder...

Sorry not to reply earlier, I've been having touble access the forums.

Install for me was: download file, extract, go to directory and follow the instructions in the README (make, then make...

It's daft, but I just had to share this mouse theme...

Thanks for the reply.

I tried power management. This only seems to happen when I've got it set up to dim the screen when on battery - and the power manager (which is the gnome power manager in...

For some reason no matter what I do with the various settings in the power manager, my EEE (901 20gig running xubuntu 8.10 with adamm's kernel) puts the display to sleep after about 30 secs of...

The dictionary file can be found in ~/.openoffice.org2/user/wordbook

To back it up just copy it somewhere.

As I understand it (and I've never used one, so may be completely wrong) most win modems don't work well with linux (of any flavour) because they rely on windows to implement part of the stack that...

Cheers, that'll save me some. Thanks.

Sounds plausible - disappointing.

I suppose I can write a bash script that cds down the directory structure and creates the new directory in a loop.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, there isn't a directory called toplevel - it was a made up name in an attempt to illustrate what I was talking about. And, yes, I'd need to be in whatever directory contained toplevel for that...
