sorry, no, i don't have to look at it. Would still be an XFCE only without Thunar. And Thunar was not one of the reasons why I switched to Fluxbox.
I simply lack curiosity and time, especially considering that I don't learn anything new for my needings there.

Just as you like the xfce panel and app menu, I like the Fluxbox root menu, Tint2 and Rofi, although I have also used tint2 under xfce as a replacement for the xfce panel ;-}

Thank you, since gksu is installed, it didn't occur to me that it was outdated.

Already exchanged the command line :-)

on mx, gksu is a symlink to mx-pkexec, which uses policykit.

In fact, I knew (remember) it like that. What misguided me is that when I checked it looked like a normal file.. However I now see that it's within the (gksu) script:

...
exec mx-pkexec "$@"

my memory bad :)

I forgot it was adjusted to be able to handle some command line switches that gksu had. it used to be a symlink.

No :) .. just .. another way of link :)
