Dammit, move!


Last night I just upgraded to Slackware 12 on my Desktop. Nice, I am still running FluxBox, tried XFCE, but even that is too taxing for my system. I know that XMMS is gone, so I am using Audacious, but there is just one problem. How do I move it out of my way!? Logically I would just hover my mouse cursor over it, hold down the left mouse button, and then drag it around the screen. Well it won't work!!! What the hell!? So how do I get it to move?! Interestingly enough if I launch audacious as a super user under xterm, then I can move it freely, but if I run it normally, I can't, why!? And how do I fix this? The only other gripe I have about Audacious, is settings are not stored in my home folder, but /usr/share/. Perhaps that might have something to do with my issue? Yet I don't quite know how to proceed.

Personally I was very disappointed with audacious - it's quite processor intensive (especially when loading a large playlist), it doesn't know how to sort properly, the osd plugin wouldn't build even when I explicitly specified it during configure (I had to build it separately)... Although the OSD plugin is very nice.

Agreed, it is quite processor intensive, and not as 'smart' as XMMS. By smart I mean, under XMMS I can load all mp3 files by using load all inside the directory, and there might be a txt file or desktop.ini in there, but XMMS would simply ignore that. Not Audacious, it would try to load the desktop.ini file, thus confusing it, and resulting in an error dialog, until beginning the play the first song on the list. It is nice however that is has plugins for playing game console music, such as SNES and Playstation. I could never get the SPC or PSF plugins to work under XMMS. XMMS would see the plugin, I could configure it, but when I would play a file, there would be no sound. I also noticed it has WMA and midi support, however I haven't tried WMA or Midi under audacious. I wonder if this midi might actually work in a *nix enviornment.
