    Okay... as much as I dig Xubuntu, this is driving me crazy.

    I booted into the comp today, opened up a session as usual... and bam, menus and toolbar are nowhere to be found. Fortunatly, I placed some shortcuts to the stuff I need (terminal, Firefox, etc), but this is making me bust a fuse. Not the first time it happens, either.

    Grrrr.... if I didn't lack the extra 128 MB of RAM needed for Kubuntu, I'd get rid of Xfce.

    Any ideas on WTF this vanishing is about?

    Not having Fluxbox?

    (I generally don't know what could cause such Xfce weirdness - even though I had aplenty when I used Xfce - but Fluxbox is worth a try. It's light and it has none of the Xfce problems.)

    I got pissed today and I ripped out the HD from my old P3 and slammed it into my Athlon X2 and installed Kubuntu on it. OK, I don't like KDE, but menus and toolbars won't vanish in thin air... at least I hope.

    Problem is I will need to reconfigure X, since it wasn't originally installed on the f****** P3, I will have to deal with the "Unable to start X".

    Or I might simply keep the HD from my X2 and trash the old P3. This machine is an old dinosaur and I'm pretty fed up of it.

    Just some random musing.

    Long Live KDE.
