Hi all
For anybody using xfce4 as their desktop, I wanted to share my
progress
regarding the new release.
[snip]
What about dependencies to gtk2/gtk3? Do we still need both?
An
ldd /opt/X11/bin/xf* |grep gtk
(that's where I have all xfce4 stuff) returns only
/opt/X11/lib/libgtk-3.so.0
so, no program, apart from xfburn (which I quickly deinstalled,
just to check) links to gtk2 anymore.
On the panel plugins side, only xfce4-xkb-plugin still links to
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, even if re-compiled.
Do we need still xfce4-xkb-plugin? I'm not sure how we use it.
I don't think so, there is an xfce4-keyboard-settings in
xfce4-settings, which should do basic stuff. As far as I remember,
xfce4-xkb-plugin would allow for easy switching between keyboard
layouts from the panel itself, but this is really not something you
need on a hardwired desktop system.
I see the point only in vnc sessions that are used by different
people with different layouts.
I see now. I had to add the plugin to the panel before I could use
it, but it looks just like the one in the settings manager.
I'm not sure about your comment about a vnc. Wouldn't each user be
able to set it independently using the settings manager if using
something like tigervnc? It seems that it would be a very unusual
situation if multiple users logging into a shared vnc session would
want different keyboard layouts and even then I'd think it would have
the be the vnc client controlling the keyboard.
Also, did you build gtk-xfce-engine? I don't think we need that either.
I'd like to suggest moving gtk-xfce-engine to the Icons chapter (and
while we're at it, moving GTK Engines to the Icons chapter). Both of
those provide unique icon themes, and should be placed in the proper
chapter. I understand that gtk-xfce-engine is now obsoleted, but it
still provides themes that work in LXDE and with other GTK+-2 applications
