    Sweeper does not clear data in Gnome Mplayer

    Since Knoppix uses a mix of KDE and Gnome packages, applications unique to each do not function well in the other. For example, in Debian Squeeze I play movies with Gnome MPlayer. As soon as I press clear recent documents under places, the relevant data from Gnome Player is removed. But in Knoppix (which uses LXDE) I have found no application other than Sweeper, which is a KDE package, and it does not remove data for Gnome MPlayer, which is a Gnome package.

    A pertinent question would be: Can Gnome Desktop Environment be run with a Knoppix cloop file without installing it to HDD? I ask this because I saw the following cheatcodes:
    knoppix desktop=fluxbox|icewm Use specified WM instead of KDE
    knoppix desktop=kde|larswm|twm Use specified WM instead of KDE
    knoppix desktop=wmaker|xfce Use specified WM instead of KDE

    Can I use the code: knoppix desktop=gnome ? Of course, I can, I am sure this does not harm the cloop file in any way. So what is stopping me?!

    Gnome instead of LXDE

    Seems I can't!
    }
    ...
    linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux64 bootfrom=/dev/sda1/KNOPPIXISO/KNOPPIX.iso
    myconfig=/media/sdb1/knoppix boot=isolinux keyboard=us desktop=gnome
    initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
    }
    and the following:
    }
    ...
    linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux64 bootfrom=/dev/sda1/KNOPPIXISO/KNOPPIX.iso
    myconfig=/media/sdb1/knoppix boot=isolinux keyboard=us
    knoppix desktop=gnome
    initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
    }
    What to do?
    I have tried to test if Gnome Desktop environment is present, I wrote gnome-session in the root terminal and tested, the session booted upto a certain point!

    "myconfig" is an obsolete cheatcode. Have a look at the last update of Cheatcodes

    Configured!
    But Gnome has totally changed from my Debian 6.0.3 to Knoppix 7.0.4!
    I am lost! I don't know how to 'clean recent documents'!
    However, I found another application that helps me do just that: Chose/Restart Knoppix. I will check and get back.
    Thank you!

    "Clear Recent Documents..." in Gnome and lxde

    I posted the question in Debian forum and got this reply:
    Where are the shortcuts of "Clear Recent Documents" stored?
    ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
    Now how do I clear the recent documents in lxde? I know the simplest option is to open a terminal, go to the folder, and delete the file, inelegantly.
    Then I can write a script which can do this as I run the script.
    How to do this elegantly, and implement this into the Knoppix-lxde system itself?
    Also note that after I run Sweeper the start menu of lxde freezes!
