Re: Installing xfce 4.6 on Lenny

[Adam Hardy <adam.ant@cyberspaceroad.com>]

Hi you German users,

is the keyboard layout switcher plugin for xfce working in 4.6?

I'm using 4.4 (default pkg from the repo) and the switcher is up the creek - 
work-around requires CLI commands.

Also, are there massive improvements between 4.4 and 4.6?

regards
Adam
