console-kit-daemon x60

If you run 'htop' you might see over 60 processes named 'console-kit-daemon'.  This seems to be a bug. On a mostly-single-user system one might as well uninstall 'consolekit' package (seems to be used for fast user switching).

For more see:

P.S. Alas, some other packages depend on 'consolekit'; not removing for now.

changing CapsLock to Ctrl in XFCE4

From:
http://serverfault.com/questions/10437/how-do-you-swap-the-caps-lock-to-control-in-xfce

Run this on startup:

  /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"


This can be placed in XFCE's startup (Settings > Session and Startup > Application Autostart tab > Add button).
