Detailed Description

The Fedora Xfce spin showcases the Xfce desktop, which aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and user friendly.

Xfce is a full fledged desktop using the freedesktop.org standard.

Benefit to Fedora

The Xfce Spin is of great value to users on older/slower machines as well as a number of folks that just prefer it to alternatives. It also works well as a base for users who wish a even lighter desktop setup.

• Basic Desktop functions should be tested: Launching applications from menu, changing background, switching desktops.
• Basic adding plugins to the panel should be tested with the included plugins via alt right click on the panel.
• nm-applet should be available in the default panel and function as per it's tests
• The default Xfce launchers on the bottom panel should all work and launch their indicated applications.
• On idle, gnome-screensaver should launch and lock the screen.
• On logout, Xfce should ask to save your session and do so if indicated.
