Or is it just Xfce that seems to be less consistent with other categories. Aside from these recent actions, lxde categories seem like a good idea, same as for all our other desktops. --------------enig6ED86BD132B253D987BB7BD5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkM6boACgkQ5aFMlhMsVyWVTQCfVV6v0MzZC9rVSR2QHt64/WxU loMAnAuD4zsXwFfMKiZ1PvWfrzcNnDQL =00fY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6ED86BD132B253D987BB7BD5--
