[Solved] xfce4-panel.xml : how configure "actions"

paiiou · 2012-05-10 17:37:28

I try to configure the panel with the file /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml, to have a valid configuration for all the users.
The part concerning the actions is the following one:

For this, I disconnect, in a console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) I modify the file and I erase the directory ~/.config/xfce4. Then I re-connect.

Everything works correctly, except the appearance which stays of the menu type instead of the type button, as asked.

Where is the error?

I answer myself.

The first line </property> is misplaced
The correct syntax is:
<property name="plugin-20" type="string" value="actions">
<property name="items" type="array">
   <value type="string" value="-lock-screen"/>
   <value type="string" value="-switch-user"/>
   <value type="string" value="-separator"/>
   <value type="string" value="-suspend"/>
   <value type="string" value="-hibernate"/>
   <value type="string" value="-separator"/>
   <value type="string" value="+shutdown"/>
   <value type="string" value="+restart"/>
   <value type="string" value="+separator"/>
   <value type="string" value="+logout"/>
   <value type="string" value="-logout-dialog"/>
</property>
  <property name="appearance" type="uint" value="0"/>
  <property name="ask-confirmation" type="bool" value="false"/>
</property>
