XFCE and Alt+F2

I was installed a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and then removed Unity and installed XFCE Desktop Environment. That’s a great desktop env becouse it’s speed and more clear then Unity. But of course it has some problems. For example when you push ALT + F2 keys then the application run window will be open a little time later. This is boring issue. Of course you can handle this issue. Let me tell you how to do this.

XFCE uses an application finder server. I don’t know what makes this and I don’t wonder too. Becouse this is unnecessary. Becouse every linux user knows that what will he run. He wants open a command prompt and writes the commands. All of this. Nobody needs an application server etc. Now we will remove this bullshit step by step.

1- Click to XFCE menu, System Settings, find the Keyboard icon.

2- Click to Keyboard icon and then click to Application Shortcuts tab.

3- Now edit Alt+F2 shortcut command as this: xfrun4 –disable-server

4- Of course you can add “–disable-server” directive to Alt+F3 shortcut.

Good luck.
