Xfce - Somes apps can't start

[rav3n171188]

I installed xfce fedora 15, some apps can't start or take a long time to start, like catalyst control center (sometime start, sometime no) , ibus (take 3-5s delay), crossover games register (can't start)...
anybody had the same issues and resolved it. Please help me, thanks

Hi,

I'm a (happy) user of the F14 Xfce Spin and am still undecided about whether to upgrade to the F15 Spin. On F14 Xfce, I have not experienced any of the problems you describe, so unfortunately I can't offer good advice based on firsthand experience.

However, in case you don't receive any replies here in the Fedora Forum, I would like to suggest a Plan B: the Fedora xfce mailing list. Some of the Fedora Xfce developers (such as Christoph and Kevin) participate in it, the atmosphere is friendly and it is a low-traffic list. If you register for it, someone there might be able to help you.

Information on the mailing list is available here:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce

Another thought (which you may have already considered): Are you sure that you installed from a good .iso? Did you check the sha1sum / md5sum, installation medium, etc.?

There are instructions for verifying your download here:

Try running the applications from a terminal? See if there's any output?

Feel free to post on the mailing list as well...

BTW, LXDE works without trouble on F15 and it is functionally identical to XFCE. It also reacts noticeably faster on my little netbook. I do not know why - it is a dual core with 2 GB RAM so it has enough oomph, for these things not to matter, yet LXDE is clearly superior.

Try them both and see which you like would be my suggestion.
