Shall be grateful if you could also upload AMD64/Feisty debs..or is that asking for too much?

Thanks

most unclear thread i ever read.

"They're arch linux packages (.tar.gz) but should also work for other distros. To install, first make sure you already have gtk+ 2.10.x and xfce 4.4 rc or beta installed, then untar the .tar.gz files and copy all non-dotfiles. If you install to a different xfce4 location, remember to change the line "X-XFCE-Exec=..." in xfce4-macmenu-plugin.desktop and xfce4-corner-plugin.desktop"

copy to where?

Bobsonator -- I found a way to uninstall it. Go to packages.ubuntu.com, search for the libgtk2.0-0 package for your version, download it. Normally I would now double-click on the package to install it with GDebi, but GDebi refuses to install it because a newer version is already installed. So instead install it with dpkg in a terminal: sudo dpkg --install libgtk2.0-0[press tab to autocomplete].

Seems to have worked for me, though I've only tested in blackbox. Does this undo all the changes?

Worked Great for me!!

big thanks

I'd have to agree. I started to apply this applet, and got it to work fully. Much appreciation to the author(s) and their work. That goes for the mac-menu-applet and the tutorials, etc.

However, I just read 69 pages of absolute nonsense that I couldn't make out. This thread has no clarity, and confused the heck out of me. But, I'm done now. Just wish I knew how to get the bar to say 'Finder' when its idle (on desktop) rather than 'GNOME'.

But, yeah, someone start a new thread, make it absolutely clear how to install this bar for newbies, etc. We were all new to Linux once, so help the newbies out - make it crystal clear, and be more detailed in your explanations.

I'm going to the pub.

Cheers! (And thanks again)

where is gtk+-2.10.X by default in ubuntu feisty?

[weblordpepe]

Is this the post that puts it to 70 pages?
Edit: Nope, damnit.

Here, I'll try to help.

Does anybody have (or compiled) deb packages for XFCE? (I mean the panel plugin only). It looks like there's only debs for Gnome.

Thanks in advance.
