First off, I want to thank everyone to helped out on Mint 13, especially the XFCE edition which I have recently switched to as my main OS. I have gotten the mint menu setup on my wife laptop as well so she can feel right at home. I'm not even sure she realized I switched her from gnome to xfce in her last 'update'.
Anyway, I am using Mint 13 XFCE 32bit on both our laptops. My main issue as of the moment that I haven't been able to figure out is if I install the xfce4-goodies package for more panel applets they all seem to crash when I try to add them to the panel. I would like to use applets to monitor hardware sensors, system load and whatnot.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks,
-Strict-

Re: XFCE applets from the xfce4-goodies package crash.
Hi strict
The problem is that Mint 13 XFCE is version 4.10.0
XFCE4-goodies is 4.8.2, wont work on 4.10..
Either wait for the developers to upgrade to 4.10 (If they aim to?)
OR:
Compile the apps from source.
Tarballs.

Re: XFCE applets from the xfce4-goodies package crash.
As Gene said above....
Mint 13 using a PPA to get 'Xfce 4.10 (core stuff) unfortuntly the extra supporting packages (plugins ect.) don't all work with 4.10 and not in the PPA
Hopefully (when and if ) Mint14-Xfce comes being based on 12.10 Ubuntu won't need the PPA anymore and will (cause (X)Ubuntu repackaged many packages/plugin so will work.
J.Jay
P.S. on Xubuntu 12.10 now (many 'goodies/plugins that didn't work (on 12.04 with PPA) now work on 12.10 again
*I think I'm going back to my 'SWIFT(LMDX) mongrel/distro anyways (Xfce 4.8 ) and wait.
