[Solved] Gigolo Problem

[antmon]

Hi! I installed xfce 14 and didn't like the tooltip of the icons being so big so I decided to go for openbox. When I tried to run gigolo it didn't let me choose a service type, ssh, windows share, etc. I tried in xfce and it works, as in lxde 13.37 in openbox desktop on another machine.
I did ask in the chat about this problem but we didn't get anywhere so does anyone have an idea about the problem?
My thanks to the guys in the chat room that helped as for all that contribute for our Salix.
Thanks!

Hi
I have Gigolo running in Salix Xfce 13.1.
Saying that to say the only reason I run it there is that Thunar in Earlier verisons did not fully support File Networking.
I would suggest in the Latest Versions Of Thunar Network browsing is supported by Plugin and to use Thunar.
Use a SSH gui for SSH if you do need it.
Although A secured SAMBA password protected with Dir and File Mask should do the Job in Thunar.

This is how I work when not using Older Versions of Thunar.

Are you sure gigolo isn't working? Even in xfce I notice the Actions drop down menu is a bit "buggy". Try using the toolbar icon instead if you haven't already tried it.

Are you referring to the Desktop icon Tooltips in xfce? You can reduce the size of these by adding the following entry to your /home/username/.gtkrc-2.0 file

Code: Select all

XfdesktopIconView::tooltip-size = 128

128 is the default large size so try setting it at 32 or whatever you prefer.

Here's a useful link to the Wiki page which has further info about customising the xfce desktop with the .gtkrc file...

try

Code: Select all

dbus-launch gigolo

If this works consider editing /usr/share/xsessions/openbox-session.desktop

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Openbox-Session
Comment=Log in using the Openbox window manager
Exec=dbus-launch /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.openbox-session
TryExec=/usr/bin/openbox-session
Icon=openbox.png
Type=XSession

Hi and thanks for the help!
@Tim CowChip - That worked. And after that I saw that in LXDE the openbox-session did started d-bus. Something I think should be taken care of when you do a openbox install.
