Whats a good lightweight volume control for XFCE? I'd like something that complies to that freedesktop standard so it will dock in the system tray. Maybe something written in gtk. I'm using FC3 btw.
Add the Xfce volume control panel applet:
Right click on the edge of the Xfce panel and select Add New Item, then select Volume Control from the list.
On a side note, how do I make XFCE my default desktop? I edited my /etc/sysconfig/desktop to have the line
DESKTOP="XFCE"
but it doesn't work.
Just run the desktop switching tool:
/usr/bin/switchdesk
and select Xfce.
BTW, to anyone else reading this, Xfce 4.2 is scheduled for final release on Jan 16 (unless something unexpected occurs ;-).

I'm currently using XFCE 4.2RC3 on FC3. It's working perfectly for me. I'd like to suggest that everyone interested in XFCE give it a try and report any bugs.
Looks like an XFCE volume control/mixer is planned (there's an entry in the config menu), but I couldn't find it among the installed apps. For volume control, I just run alsamixer if the app I'm using doesn't have its own control. gnome-volume-control also works fine under XFCE.
I didn't make XFCE4 my default desktop, since I always boot into runlevel 3. I just run "startxfce4" after a regular console login.

John
