Description Nathan Thomas 2009-12-29 13:10:00 UTC
Description of problem:

Section 5.1 lists the Fedora Xfce desktop as having two panels: a Window List
Panel at the top of the screen, and a Menu Panel at the bottom. In fact the
default desktop for the Fedora 12 Xfce Spin has only one panel, at the bottom,
combining both the Window List and the Menu functions. Figure 5.1, showing
what looks like a Fedora 11 Xfce desktop, also only has one panel.

If Xfce is installed from the repos rather than with an Xfce Spin
installation, how many panels does the resulting desktop have? 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 12 Edition 1.0


Actual results:
Text description contradicts screenshot and Fedora 12 Xfce Spin default setup.

Expected results:
Text description should agree with screenshot and Fedora 12 Xfce Spin default setup. Or, if the default desktop when installing Xfce from the repos differs from that of the Xfce Spin, the documentation should note this and give accurate descriptions of both.
