Hi, I'm a linux newbie. I just finally got a working install of Fedora yesterday. My question to the list is - how can I get my WindowsXP machine to login to an X Windows Gnome or KDE session on my Fedora machine? I've tried VNC, but it's really laggy over the wireless connection in my house. I want to be able to login to my Fedora box from work, connecting over the internet. Can

Hi Is there a standard for the name of the Desktop folder? Whichever distribution I've seen names the Desktop folder as "Desktop", and any attempt I made localizing this folder with a .desktop entry was unsuccessful. So what major problems (other than application specific ones, i.e the download folder may not be found, etc) could I face if I rename this folder from Desktop to

Hi all, I want to manage .desktop, .menu and icon files of a project (Wormux) with autotools. Does it exist some doc about this ? I had a look at Amarok sources and I could install the .desktop with the following in my Makefile.am : xdg_appsdir = $(datadir)/applications xdg_apps_DATA = wormux.desktop Are there some similar variables for icons and .menu files ? Furthermore I saw on some Gnome

Hi, I'm curious what work has been done on security desktop apps using things like SELinux and AppArmor or equivalents on other OSs. At the moment it seems to be the norm for apps to both read and change their config files if they have them and that seems to offer the potential for malware to exploit a bug in an app to make it easily propagate to the next invocation of the app. My general

Hi, LDTP (Linux Desktop Testing Project) hosted in http://gnomebangalore.org/ldtp About LDTP: *Problem:* In windows domain there are many GUI automation tools, which can recognize the GUI as "objects" and not just with co-ordinates. Unfortunately, Open Source Linux GUI automation tools are not matured up to that level - at least to my knowledge ;) . Without this advancement in the

Hi there, I would like to enable the desktop user to create shared folders, for example using protocols like Samba, nfs and sftp. For the user to make this possible, the user needs (on a Linux machine configured with the defaults of most current Linux distributions) root privileges. However. In a desktop environment, in my humble opinion the possibility for a normal user to configure a simple

I'm wondering what the procedure is to propose additions the the Registered Categories list for the FreeDesktop.org menu-spec. I've found that the Game; subcategories currently available are a little lacking in variety. I think two more should be added: ShootingGame and DrivingGame. I'd like to use those in my .desktop files while maintaining standards compliance, so how could I go

Hi there fellow hackers, geeks and others who want the UNIX desktop to succeed. I bring forward the question whether or not a (freedesktop.org) specification is necessary for application scheduling software. The current UNIX Desktop user does not have an easy way to configure the tasks which he wants to schedule. Sure we have such a utility. And sure we can shout to our Desktop users

Hi, I have been looking for the freedesktop.org logo in a good resolution or even vector based, but I was not able to find it. If someone could point me to a ps, svg or other vector based version, that would be great. I saw a vector based version of the logo on Keith's screenshots of window-level image compositing, so they must be somewhere around there. If you have the logo in a higher

Hi all, I need to reboot all the VMs and physical machines hosting freedesktop.org for a kernel update. This will happen tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon UTC. Cheers, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
