Xfce/pt-br

Para citar xfce.org: "Xfce é um ambiente de desktop leve para sistemas operacionais Unix-like. Tem por objetivo ser rápido e de baixo consumo para os recursos do sistema, enquanto está sendo visualmente atraente e fácil de usar."

Evitando dependências desnecessárias
Evitando suporte e pacotes opcionais do GNOME, irá manter o sistema mais enxuto e congruente. Esta seção é totalmente opcional; proceda desta maneira se o objetivo é manter o sistema pequeno em vez de grande.

Garanta que o sistema está usando o básico "desktop" no profile:

e tem a flag   por padrão:

É claro, a flag  pode também ser definida globalmente no  se desejar.

Definindo XFCE_PLUGINS
No arquivo, adicione e personalize a variável XFCE_PLUGINS :

As opções acima podem mudar; a lista atual está disponível dentro do arquivo ${PORTDIR}/profiles/desc/xfce_plugins.desc.

Emerge
É hora de instalar o Xfce completo para desktop!

Sem incluir explicitamente o no comando, o pacote  irá chamar o pacote do GNOME  em vez disso. Então, instale-os em conjunto com o e depois retire-o da word list com o deselect.

É claro, também é possível selecionar apenas os pacotes necessários:

Gerenciadores de login
É possível usar um gerenciador de login para iniciar o Xfce. Por favor, consulte o artigo display manager para configurar um gerenciador de login.

A maioria dos gerenciadores de login usam o arquivo para configurar seções disponíveis. O seguinte é um exemplo de um arquivo desktop:

O arquivo desktop pode ser colocado no local correto para o gerenciador de login.

Iniciando o Xfce sem um gerenciador de login
e são duas das opções disponíveis de imediato para iniciar o Xfce sem usar um gerenciador de login.

startx
Quando usar, crie um arquivo com o seguinte conteúdo:

When experiencing authorization or permissions issues within xfce4 in a OpenRC profile (symptoms include being unable to open power manager and unable to suspend/hibernate) be sure the package has been merged with the   flag set. Then replace the above line in with the following (see this entry on the Gentoo Forums for more information):

startxfce4
To launch the Xfce4 desktop simply type at the command-line and press enter:

Xfce is a desktop environment and as such can be tuned and tailored to the needs of (almost) every user. In this section, a number of popular (or more challenging) aspects are covered.

xfce4-volumed
Install to manage the volume keys:

When using pulseaudio with xfce4, use :

Keyboard shortcuts
Run to bind the following keys:


 * button: amixer set Master 5%+
 * button: amixer set Master 5%-
 * button: amixer set Master toggle

Native Xfce theme engine
Xfce's own theme engine,, was updated in version 3.0, which implements native support for GTK+ 3 with no further configuration.

Assuming that the  USE flag is set, the GTK+ 3 version (revision 300 or higher) should be pulled in by default if  or  were installed with a   world upgrade.

If not simply:

This should pull in the right version of through the use of a specific.

After emerging the GTK+ 3 version of, applications using GTK+ 3 should now blend nicely with applications using GTK+ 2 when one of the native Xfce themes is used.

Greybird theme
Another option is to use the Greybird theme, which has support for GTK+ 2, GTK+ 3, xfwm4, emerald, and metacity:

Go to ->  ->. Or run. Select "Greybird" from the "Style" list.

Now GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 applications should have a consistent look.

Other themes
Other themes available in Portage that are compatible with XFCE can be emerged with the following list:

Additional applications
There are a number of additional applications which are either part of Xfce or support this desktop environment nicely.

Enable vertical window snapping
Most modern desktop environments have vertical window snapping enabled by default. This is also possible in Xfce, but not by default. To enable, navigate to: →  →.


 * Make sure the "Snap windows to screen border" checkbox has been checked.
 * Make sure the checkboxes under "Wrap workspaces when reaching the screen edge" have been unchecked. These interfere with vertical window snapping.

Once the checkboxes are set it should be now possible to drag a window to the right or left side of the screen, which should cause the window to resize to 50% of the screen width.

Keyboard shortcuts can be set in order to do this via the typical + or + behavior. Navigate to →  →.

Set the "Tile window to the left" and "Tile window to the right" actions with the + and + key combinations respectively.

Audio mixer complains about missing pavucontrol binary
Clicking the speaker (audio) icon in the panel and then selecting results in a message saying "pavucontrol binary not found".

The solution is to install :

Program starting hotkeys are not working / Colors not changeable from appearance
Xfce can have hotkeys for both starting an application as well as modifying the behavior of an already running application or setting. An example of behavior hotkey is the ++ combination, which minimizes all windows to show the deskop (and vice-versa).

Assuming that hotkeys for starting an application (such as + to start the application finder) are not working, while the application can be started from the menu, then Consolekit is not running. Start it, and make sure that it gets started at boot time:

This will also start D-Bus, a prerequisite for Consolekit. Restart X to enjoy the new hotkeys and colors.
