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.

NAME

       xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-power-manager-settings [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-power-manager-settings  is  a  utility  that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration.  It is a separate
       program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices.	xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man-
       ager  to  be  running  because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for
       example,  the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no  device  was	detected  by  the  running
       instance of the Xfce4 power manager.
	xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options.

BUGS

       Please  report  bugs  to  http://bugzilla.xfce.org/.   Development discussion should be conducted on the goodies-dev@xfce.org mailing list.
       Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list.
