Re: [orca-list] XFCE (was Re: Wiki Edits)

Hi,
I am still very new with Arch myself. I have it running oon an older computer that seems to work great for a few minutes, then all of a sudden it gets a bad case of the jitters, the sound and video both skip badly for a minute or so, then it returns to normal. I'm not sure why it does it, but I though maybe it was because it couldn't handle much processing at a time. So I put XFCE on it. Being a newbie though, I just followed the instructions on the Arch wiki, I didn't build anything from scratch.
I do have GTK3 because pacman -Qi gtk3 returns the following
Name           : gtk3
