I am busy changing the world

There is something wrong with the XFCE version 4.10. I cannot add shortcut key to launch an application. Luckily, I can do it using xfconf-query command. For example, to create a shortcut to launch the Whisker Menu by pressing the Super key (windows key): xfconf-query --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property "/commands/custom/Super_L" --create --type string --set "xfce4-popup-whiskermenu" You can change the keyboard directly by editing the xml file: ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

This morning, I installed Xubuntu 13.10 with the daily build image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/ When everything finished, the sound indicator in the XFCE panel is empty, I mean...nothing there. No sound settings, no volumn bar. I searched on the launchpad and found that It is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1208204 So, here how to fix this: 1. Open the /usr/share/dbus-1/services/indicator-sound.service file: $ sudo nano /usr/share/dbus-1/services/indicator-sound.service 2. Change the exec line to the following: Exec=/usr/lib/indicator-sound-gtk2/indicator-sound-service
