If you want to update and test LXQt 1.4.0 you can find an update diff here: https://github.com/sizeofvoid/wip-ports/commit/79f5e47c05c4a8341e7873dd850e2077ca5e7293 In a Sunday evening mood I update LXQt to 1.4.0 just for fun. It's quite straightforward but I don't plan to continue here unless someone starts taking a look. https://twitter.com/sizeofvoid/status/1744090390892867838/photo/1
