I too have used rox-filer (but not yet rox-session), and found it the
kind of thing that you could learn to like. I learned of its existence
thanks to Simon's roxterm recommendation, and I'm using rox-filer every
once in a while, and starting to like it more.

Those menus are a double-edged sword. You maneuver thru the whole
thing, don't find the executable you really want, and then have to
furthergui to install an unlisted app.

Nice! Thanks for that tip!

I wouldn't want that for Thunar, but somehow, in rox I like it :-)
