XFCE Window Manager bug?

[perdomot]

I upgraded my 17.2 XFCE to 17.3 and noticed that while compiz is present, Marco, Compton and Openbox are not listed in the Desktop Settings box. Any ideas why?

Perhaps those are only present in a clean install of 17.3 Xfce, with its new default graphical stack? Just a guess, but it might be something like that. You keep your current graphical stack when upgrading an older member of the 17 series.

... Compton and Openbox are not listed in the Desktop Settings box.

They will be listed if you install them.

"... MintDesktop detects WMs which are installed, it doesn’t depend on it (At the moment it depends on Compiz, and we’ll be removing that dependency btw). We might ship with additional WMs by default (for instance Compton might be installed by default in the Xfce edition) but there won’t be deps involved between mintdesktop and the various wms."

How do you install them?

How do you install them?

Quite normal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install compton openbox

For a better Openbox-Konfiguration I*ve also installed "obconf"
