can't add launchers in xfce

with the awn manager in place, I figured it would be safe to ditch gnome and convert 100% to my favourite DE - XFCE. I find however, with the latest version from today, that I can't add any launchers in the awn manager. I try to click add under launcgers and nothing happens. This is the output I get in the terminal doing it:
[Q]



Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or folder
[Q]



I tried to add the launchers manually to /home/user/.config/awn/launchers but to no avail. Anyone with suggestions for how to add launchers to awn so it's usable in xfce?

Sorry to tell you this but... You can't completely uninstall gnome.
AWN needs a good chunk of gnome to run. You'd have to reinstall a lot of dependancies. Sorry. Read the first post for dependancies if you really want to.

Hi, I'm currently working on a branch that works with the Xfce libraries. If you wish to test it out, it's listed in launchpad as "desktop-agnostic". Feedback on the bug related to it is very much appreciated!

I have made sure that I do actually meet all the dependencies, so I have pulled in a fair share of gnome just for that. If it needs more, then what more?
[Q]



malept - that sounds very interesting - Does your branch mean that one won't have to rely so much on all the gnome dependencies or moreso that it just works better in other environments?
[Q]



I've gone ahead and tried to install it just now, but I got an error on autogen:
[Q]



checking for specific desktop support... configure: error: You must enable either Gnome or Xfce4 support
[Q]



I am running the latest xfce4 in debian lenny, so it really should be both fairly stable and new. The xfce I am running is a 'select your own packages' deal to make sure I only get in what I need. Is there a package I might be missing here?
[Q]



edit: I noticed in launchpad it builds against libxfce4util and thunar-vfs. Those exact names weren't in debian so I installed libthunar-vfs-1-dev libthunar-vfs-1-2 libxfce4util-dev libxfce4util4 but to not avail, but just checking in to say I do have those packages installed. At any rate, I'd love to help testing this.

I'm not very familiar with Xfce support in Debian/*Ubuntu (I'm doing development in Gentoo), so I appreciate all of the testing.

My ultimate goal is that AWN won't have to depend on Gnome-specific libraries (or for that matter, any particular desktop's libraries), but simply Glib, GTK+, and X (as much as I would enjoy having AWN on Windows, I don't think it will happen).

In order for both Gnome and Xfce desktops to be supported, I added a new ./configure flag: --with-desktop=(gnome|xfce4). So I think what you need to do is run autogen.sh with that flag.

Ok, so it installed nicely enough running
./autogen.sh --with-desktop=xfce4
[Q]



However, the awn-manager won't load, so I still can't add any launchers.
[Q]



Here's the ouput when trying to run it:
~$ awn-manager
(awn-manager:21246): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/awn-manager", line 44, in ?

Btw, I'll probably be distro-hopping to Zenwalk sometime this week, so a chance to do some testing on a slackbased xfce distro instead. How far along are you in the process of DE-independency? It would be nice to know what exact dependencies I will need to run it, so I won't have to pull in all sorts of superfluous gnome packacges. Slack's package management is difficult enough for me as it is.

Hmmm...actually, I haven't touched any of the awn-manager code yet :)
But anyway, I think you need to set your locale in the terminal. You can probably find out how to do it by searching the Ubuntu forums for LC_ALL.

As I said earlier, I seem to have forgotten to de-Gnome-ify the manager, et al., so you need to have the same dependencies for that for now. An easy way of figuring out what packages you need is by looking at the generated awn.pc after you do a ./configure --with-desktop=xfce4 - the line "Requires" will give you some idea of the package names.

I'm also using Xfce (Xubuntu) and having the same problem with adding launchers. Can't wait for the desktop-agnostic patches to be applied to AWN trunk.

I would follow the [branch] thread that I started a few days ago - I'll try to post updates as I work on it.

In a boost to animal welfare activists looking to get livestock out of cramped cages, Burger King will be the first major U.S. fast-food air jordan pas cher chain to give all of its chickens and pigs some room to roam.
[Q]



On Wednesday, the world's second-biggest burger chain pledged that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017, hoping to satisfy rising consumer demand for humanely produced fare and increase its sales in the process.
[Q]



Other companies have made similar but less broad announcements this year, part of an industrywide shift to consider animal welfare when buying food supplies.
[Q]



"Even if you're buying a nike air max burger, you want to buy it from someone you like and respect," said food industry analyst Phil Lempert, who writes a daily industry newsletter. "It's proven that consumers are willing to pay a little bit more for fairness, whether it's to humans or animals."
[Q]



Conventionally raised eggs come from hens confined in "battery cages," nike air max pas cher which give them roughly the same space as a sheet of standard notebook paper. Most pork comes from sows confined during their four-month pregnancies in narrow crates.
[Q]



The hens would still nike pas cher be housed in a barn, but they have room to move and perches and nesting boxes. Sows are also held indoors, but they would not be confined in the cramped crates while they are pregnant.
[Q]



Egg and pork producers have argued that easing confinement standards for animals raises nike air max production costs and makes those who adjust their practices less competitive.
[Q]



Animal welfare groups applauded Burger King's decision.
[Q]



"So many tens of thousands of animals will now be in better living conditions," said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of nike air max chaussures the United States, which has been pushing Burger King and other companies to adopt similar policies. "Numerically, this is significant because Burger King is such a big purchaser of these products."
