Great, thanks guys.

To fix the grey border look at mintdesktop-xfce here

http://ompldr.org/vOGVuOQ/mintdesktop-xfce_2011.04.04_all.deb

@clem: Yeah, just "apt purge notification-daemon" and all will be well. Not sure what causes this behavior, but I discovered it in Mint 9 when I was using Lubuntu as the system base. I've already tested it on this .iso and can verify that it works properly after removing notification-daemon.

Bugs:

• Print to PDF gives blank pages
• apturl doesn't work
• in /etc/linuxmint/info the GRUB_TITLE has no architecture reference.
• Thunar needs a custom action for permanent deletion.
• In both this and the 32 bit, some of the file associations seem a little weird. MP3s are opening with totem for some odd reason. Not sure if this is intentional or not.
• Menu should use exo launchers instead of Firefox/Thunderbird...etc.
• Search in Thunar doesn't work since catfish isn't installed.
• Still using ugly Default theme for notification instead of slider.
• Still has no option to remove the ugly grey outline around Desktop icons.
• Still has ugly grey border around desktop icons.
• xfce4-volumed should be installed by default
• Firefox should use exo-open --launch FileManager like it does in Xubuntu.
• Menu should use exo-file-manger.desktop instead of Thunar.desktop.
• No Lock Screen in the menu. the desktop file is in /etc/skel/.config/applications

Notes:

• Fortunes are disabled by default in this release and going forward. We need to engage in some extensive work and make our own "funny" and "non-agressive" fortunes if we want to see them enabled by default again. I really like the concept of having fortunes, but we need to acknowledge the fact that many of them aren't funny/suitable.
• The user agent isn't there in FF4 and later versions

@kendall: "If you purge notification-daemon then notify-osd will work properly." --> Can you explain more about this? What's wrong? How it solves the problem? How to reproduce and apply the solution? (is it just an apt purge)?

@Merlwiz: "The menu is still broke even after I posted a fix for it." --> Please explain or give me a link to the earlier conversation

@Merlwiz: "Still no text/images under buttons." --> ??

No Lock Screen in the menu. the desktop file is in /etc/skel/.config/applications

Menu should use exo-file-manger.desktop instead of Thunar.desktop.

Adds the ability to use any file manager the user wants and still use the main option.

Firefox should use exo-open --launch FileManager like it does in Xubuntu.

Still no images on buttons.

Still no text under buttons.

Still missing xfce4-volumed

Still has ugly grey border around desktop icons.

Still has no option to remove the ugly grey outline around Desktop icons.

Still using ugly Default theme for notification instead of slider.

Search in Thunar doesn't work since catfish isn't installed.

The menu is still broke even after I posted a fix for it.

Also it should be using exo-web-browser.desktop and exo-terminal-emulator.desktop.

This allows the user to change the default apps tot the ones they prefer.

All you have to do is edit/create new helper files for exo-utils in /usr/share/xfce4/helpers

Then edit/create the /etc/xdg/xdg-xfcemint/helpers.rc.

The XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS aren't being set to use the custom folders.

This would make it easier to have custom settings that don't overwrite the default ones.

And that's as far as I can get with this one.

In both this and the 32 bit, some of the file associations seem a little weird. MP3s are opening with totem for some odd reason. Not sure if this is intentional or not.

047 - Same issues with WMV, Quicktime, and Silverlight as on the 32 bit edition.

If you purge notification-daemon then notify-osd will work properly.

050 - Test pages are not present.

046 - A .pdf is created with the correct name and in the correct location but the file is blank.

039 - The kernel version explicitly states that it's 64 bit, unlike the 32 bit edition.

029 - As in the 32 bit, the user agent string is no longer listed on the "About" dialog, but is correct in about:config.

024 - Thunar needs a custom action for permanent deletion.

019 - in /etc/linuxmint/info the GRUB_TITLE has no architecture reference.

017 - startupmanager and usb-creator-gtk are not installed by default. I'm thinking this test needs to be altered to include an exception for the Debian based systems.

008 - Fortunes work, but are not enabled by default.

003, 004, 018, 035, 057 - Passing as they don't apply.
