I'm currently trying to revamp Xfce, which will be part of a more complete pack i intend to upload @
http://dl.openhandhelds.org/ .
First, i begun to change my own ~Applications/Settings/xfce4/ , saving it and creating a .pnd which installs my skel.
Although i have to restart X, it worked.
No i try to create my own /etc/xdg/pack , containing the same stuff as my ~Applications/Settings/xfce4/ .
I followed the /etc/xdg/op structure, but when i modify ~.xinitrc , replacing /etc/xdg/op with /etc/xdg/pack (also cleaning Cache and Application) and restart X, i always fallback to the Xfce default settings (not event the op ones).
I could use tricks like replace /etc/xdg/op/* with my stuff but i obviously want to be clean ^^.
I may have made mistakes here, so can you tell me if editing the .xinitrc is sufficient here ?
Second thing, i try to change the whole desktop configuration on-the-fly, copying a new ~Applications/Settings/xfce4/ over the old one, and killing/restarting/reloading each xfce services manually.
ie. xfce4-panel --restart, xfwm4 --replace
Although some things changes well, the whole desktop doesn't change. Especially panels. I fallback to the failsafe config again.
So how to proceed to get this new ~Applications/Settings/xfce4/ fully applied without having to restart X ?
It's purely Xfce-related.
