Xfdesktop and Thunar on Ubuntu 10.04, replace Nautilus
Nautilus is a program based on Ubuntu 10.04 and earlier, which manages the desktop and folders.
Because I think Nautilus uses many resources, we will see how to replace it with Xfdesktop that manages the desktop and Thunar that handles folders, both based on xfce.
Installiamoli;
sudo apt-get install xfdesktop4 xfdesktop4-data thunar
since we can not uninstall Nautilus when it is in symbiosis with gnome-session gnome that allows you to authenticate, rename the executable;
sudo mv / usr / bin / nautilus / usr / bin / nautilus.bak
xfdesktop now we put in the startup programs in session, then go to:
System> Preferences> Startup Applications of>>> Add <<<
and place;
Name: xfdesktop
Command: xfdesktop
Comment: xfdesktop
Now restart ...
If you start not to display desktop icons, dates from the terminal:
xfdesktop & exit
If you are not satisfied to restore the whole uninstall thunar and xfdesktop:
sudo apt-get purge xfdesktop4 xfdesktop4-data thunar
and also restore the executable Nautilus, then:
sudo mv / usr / bin / nautilus.bak / usr / bin / nautilus
and reboot.
PS If you decide to keep xfdesktop and thunar you can "remove from panel" at the bottom of the basket as it does not work, but do not worry you in the desktop.
