Optionally, <emphasis>picom</emphasis> can be enabled for nice graphical

effects, some example settings:

Some Xfce programs are not installed automatically. To install them manually
|

(system wide), put them into your

<para>

There is no authentication agent automatically installed alongside Xfce. To
|
|
allow mounting of local (non-removable) filesystems, you will need to
|
|
install one. Installing <emphasis>polkit_gnome</emphasis>, a rebuild, logout
|
|
and login did the trick.

Even after enabling udisks2, volume management might not work. Thunar and/or
|
|
the desktop takes time to show up. Thunar will spit out this kind of message
|
|
on start (look at <command>journalctl --user -b</command>).
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
Thunar:2410): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
This is caused by some needed GNOME services not running. This is all fixed
|
|
by enabling "Launch GNOME services on startup" in the Advanced tab of the
|
|
Session and Startup settings panel. Alternatively, you can run this command
|
|
to do the same thing.
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /compat/LaunchGNOME -s true
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
A log-out and re-log will be needed for this to take effect.
