@Hamza, Great! Enjoy!
@all: New 'pxf-sound' script is up on the google code page: http://porteus-xfce.googlecode.com/file ... nd-gtk.xzm
This module is architecture-independent (works on both 32 and 64-bit).
Please give it a try if you have a chance, I'd like some more testing prior to RC2. Download the module and put it in /porteus/modules on your flash or hard drive. On reboot (preferrably 'always fresh' mode), please check that retrovol (the sound icon in the panel notification area) is configured for the right sound device and Master Volume channel. Then, push your volume up/down and mute buttons and make sure everything works and displays properly. I've set this up so that retrovol should always default to the 'Master' channel (rava, this should fix the issue where it was defaulting to some PCM channel).
Cheers!

@Rava,
I had a chance to look at your GIMP issue today. To me, this does not appear to be a bug. I think it is a GIMP feature that is perhaps expressed differently in XFCE than in other desktops. In order to stop the toolbox and dock from changing desktops, please do the following:
Open GIMP -> edit -> preferences -> window management -> change dropdowns for "Hint for the toolbox:" and "Hint for other docs:" to "Normal window" or "keep above". Then restart GIMP. They should now stay in the same workspace as the main window.
Thanks!
