New Xfce beta focuses on usability

10-23-2008 11:00 AM
Xfce version 4.6 is shaping up to be more significant than most minor releases. Besides fixes and enhancements that are invisible to the casual user, the first revision in almost two years of GNU/Linux's third most popular desktop includes numerous changes to applications such as the calendar, mixer, and logout dialog, a new configuration engine, and usability changes to the desktop. Their combined effect is to increase the usability of Xfce without sacrificing any of the speed for which the desktop is well-known.

xfce4-popup-windowlist

xfce4-popup-windowlist(1)				      General Commands Manual					 xfce4-popup-windowlist(1)

NAME

       xfce4-popup-windowlist - shows the Xfce window list applet popup

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-popup-windowlist [ -pointer ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-popup-windowlist command.

       xfce4-popup-windowlist shows the Xfce window list if at least one Xfce window list applet is present on one of your panel(s).

       The  default behaviour is to show the window list near the applet button.  If you have several Xfce window list applets, only the first one
       you have set up will pop up.

       If you want to pop up the window list without using the window list applet on your panel(s), see the manual page for xfdesktop(1).

OPTIONS

       -pointer
	      The window list appears at your current mouse position instead of its default position.
