There are a couple of additional tools you may also wish to use in this environment. I would recommend graphics/ristretto for a lightweight image viewer, sysutils/thunar-volman-plugin to handle mounting of external media, sysutils/xfce4-battery-plugin if running on a laptop. Also, make sure to read: Section 5.7.4: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html For usb mounting: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html For policy kit / hal settings: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html and when compiling Thunar (the file manager) make sure to select FAM support from the options dialog.
