When I ran Compiz on XFCE, the machine became quite unstable. So I turned off Compiz, used the Koynacity window theme and the Tango icon theme and turned on anti-aliased text, and used XFCE like that. And now that’s my default session.
And while using XFCE, I figured out how to manually mount removable drives! Oh, and I downloaded Ivman which is an auto-mounter, but I only start it when my father is going to use the computer.
I’ve started an open-source project of my own, writing a "migration assistant" for Ubuntu. It will mount existing Fat32 and NTFS partitions, and import Firefox bookmarks and documents and music into Rhythmbox and all that kind of thing. Stay tuned for more details - I haven’t been able to work on it much recently but I hope to have it finished in time for Edgy, being available in the same way that Automatix is available today.
