[cw-discuss] Switching between XFCE and Gnome

[Richard Lemay]

Hi,

This is only a suggestion, but sometimes, gnome services hang and 
prevent the application from working (I'm thinking 
gnome-settings-daemon). Log off and look with ps aux for any program 
which are still running (slay can be your friend here). As for XFCE, 
unfortunately, the edgy version is far more stable than the dapper one. 
I experienced this problem frequently with dapper (panels disappearing). 
Maybe backporting packages would be adequate for you.
