I bet the tray is positioned now in the middle.
You can go into the configuration of XFCE and place the panel to the right.
Don't remember if it is panel one or panel two.

I only have one panel and it is full-width.

Thanks for the work you have done with XFCE4 and making it easier for us to add this great window manager to puppy, It's by far my favorite WM. I'll be watching for your conversions of XFCE 4.4.2

I have just installed the Xfce-4.4.1.pet on a clean Photon install. The system boots with icewm except that there is no background image or icons but all other functions are working. I can right click and go to window manager and click restart with Xfce and the Xfce manger will boot. I would like to know if there is a way that Xfce will boot automatically?

Puppy should remember the last wm used and boot to it. Just make sure you do a "normal" shutdown and not force the poweroff.

Thanks for the reply Trapster, that is what I thought but I kept booting to the icewm first. After reading your reply I retraced my steps against the install instructions and suddenly realized that I did not exit to the command line, Ijust started the xfce window manager from the menu. I went to the command line and typed xwin startxfce4 and now xfce boots automatically. Again, thanks for the reply!!!!!!

Was this xfwm compile with --enable-composite?

Because the one from wNOP wasnt.

No, I don't believe it was. I remember trying to compile with composite, but I think there were some missing libs that I didn't feel the need to chase down.

i like xfce because
1. ( the important) if we don't have mouse, we stil can move between aplication with ALT+TAB ( like in windws....)
in jwm, i noy yet know
2. fast like jwm
3. i like thunar file manager, because it have tree( rox dont have)

ok, thanks very much
