Re: cpu frequency stepper in Xubuntu

 If all else fails, you can use the gnome-applet plugin on the XFCE bar. Try 
and see if your distribution packages this piece of software: 

http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin

or otherwise, build it yourself. A few Ubuntu releases ago, I found the 
gnome applet to be the most handy (allow stepping based on a priority or by 
speed). Kristian is spot on with the dpkg-reconfigure command which will 
allow this applet to actually modify your stepping (as root).
