Lisa,

A good link.

I have most of Tracker disabled, except for Tracker-desktop.
I have not found the setting for that either in .config, or /etc/xge (I
think those were the paths)
System is now running much faster

I also have found the settings for more virtual desktops, as well as
adjusting the system fonts, and I have even got Flash running for
YouTube.

I am much happier with my new system.

Harold
