Introduction

The xfce-utils package provides the general 'About Xfce 4' dialog, a run dialog and several useful scripts that are also used by other Xfce components such as the panel and the desktop menu.

Run Dialog

Figure 1. Run dialog

Shows the run dialog.

The run dialog allows the user to launch applications. Applications can be run in a Terminal emulator (Terminal by default, see xfterm4 script below). In a default Xfce environment, the Alt+F2 key combination will open the run dialog.

About Dialog

Figure 2. About dialog

Shows the About Dialog displaying the credits page.

The About Dialog is used to display information about Xfce 4, including a list of components, a credits page for all people who helped to create Xfce 4 and license information.

Scripts

startxfce4

The startxfce4 is a convenient script to start an Xfce 4 session from the console. It will give you a session with two panels and with the desktop manager and window manager running.

To customize the behaviour of startxfce4, copy the file ${sysconfdir}/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc to your personal ~/.config/xfce4/ directory and edit that file. If you me">Hui4/ directory and edit that file.
