The one thing that's still got me stumped is alt + middle mouse button window resizing. How do I accomplish this in Xubuntu/XFCE?</p>

<p>The upgrade went smoothly, Dropbox is working (i.e. it is syncing files), but the icon overlays aren't appearing no matter if I use Unity, Unity 2D or GNOME Shell.</p> <p>Is there any setting that can fix this?<br> Is there a new version of the Dropbox extension for Oneiric?</p>

<p>For reason(s) yet unknown, the Session Indicator has disappeared from my Unity Panel (ver. 11.10.) Short of reinstalling, is there a way the Session Indicator can be restored, perhaps through a command issued to gsettings? (I'm new to Ubuntu and still learning.) </p> <p>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. ...
