I'm guessing you could be right on that. Not entirely sure how I would check that. I'm not sure if any of the below packages are required for xfce to operate correctly or not. I could probably just take a punt and remove them to see what happens, but I'll leave that for next week when I have more time to spare if it goes pear-shaped. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: alsa-base cpp-4.9 docutils-common docutils-doc espeak-data firebird2.5-common firebird2.5-common-doc firebird2.5-server-common firebird3.0-common firebird3.0-common-doc gdebi-core gnome-icon-theme-symbolic gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-plugins-base libalgorithm-c3-perl libamd2.3.1 libarchive-extract-perl libasprintf0c2 libavcodec56 libavformat56 libavresample2 libavutil54 libb-hooks-endofscope-perl libbasicusageenvironment0 libbind9-90 libboost-system1.55.0 libcamd2.3.1 libccolamd2.8.0 libcholmod2.1.2 libchromaprint0 libclass-c3-perl libclass-c3-xs-perl libclass-method-modifiers-perl libclass-xsaccessor-perl libcloog-isl4 libcolamd2.8.0 libcpan-changes-perl libcpan-meta-perl libdata-optlist-perl libdata-perl-perl libdata-section-perl libdbus-1-dev libdevel-caller-perl libdevel-globaldestruction-perl libdevel-lexalias-perl libdiscid0 libdns100 libdvbpsi9 libegl1-mesa-drivers libelfg0 libenca0 libept1.4.12 libespeak1 libexporter-tiny-perl libfbclient2 libfbembed2.5 libfile-slurp-perl libflite1 libfreerdp-cache1.1 libfreerdp-client1.1 libfreerdp-codec1.1 libfreerdp-common1.1.0 libfreerdp-core1.1 libfreerdp-crypto1.1 libfreerdp-gdi1.1 libfreerdp-locale1.1 libfreerdp-primitives1.1 libfreerdp-rail1.1 libfreerdp-utils1.1 libgegl-0.2-0 libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl libgif4 libglew1.10 libgphoto2-port10 libgroupsock1 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-0 libgtop2-7 libhunspell-1.3-0 libical1a libice-dev libilmbase6 libimobiledevice4 libimport-into-perl libintl-perl libintl-xs-perl libio-stringy-perl libisc95 libisccc90 libisccfg90 libisl10 libjasper1 libjim0.75 libjsoncpp0 libkeybinder0 liblinear1 liblircclient0 liblist-moreutils-perl liblivemedia23 libllvm3.5 liblog-message-perl liblog-message-simple-perl liblouis2 liblwres90 libminizip1 libmodule-build-perl libmodule-implementation-perl libmodule-load-conditional-perl libmodule-pluggable-perl libmodule-runtime-perl libmodule-signature-perl libmoo-perl libmoox-handlesvia-perl libmro-compat-perl libnamespace-autoclean-perl libnamespace-clean-perl libntdb1 libopenexr6 libopenjpeg5 libopenraw1 libopenvg1-mesa liborcus-0.8-0 libpackage-constants-perl libpackage-stash-perl libpackage-stash-xs-perl libpadwalker-perl libpango1.0-0 libparams-classify-perl libparams-util-perl libparams-validate-perl libpath-tiny-perl libperl4-corelibs-perl libplist2 libpod-latex-perl libpod-markdown-perl libpod-readme-perl libpoppler46 libportaudio2 libpostproc52 libpth20 libpthread-stubs0-dev libqpdf13 libqt4-dbus libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtdbus4 libqtgui4 libre2-3 libregexp-common-perl libreoffice-sdbc-firebird librole-tiny-perl libschroedinger-1.0-0 libsctp1 libsm-dev libsoftware-license-perl libstrictures-perl libsub-exporter-perl libsub-exporter-progressive-perl libsub-identify-perl libsub-install-perl libswscale3 libterm-ui-perl libtext-soundex-perl libtext-template-perl libtommath1 libtry-tiny-perl libturbojpeg1 libtype-tiny-perl libtype-tiny-xs-perl libumfpack5.6.2 libunicode-utf8-perl libusageenvironment1 libusbmuxd2 libvariable-magic-perl libvncclient0 libvpx1 libvte-2.90-9 libvte-2.90-common libvte-common libvte9 libwebpmux1 libwebrtc-audio-processing-0 libwinpr-crt0.1 libwinpr-crypto0.1 libwinpr-dsparse0.1 libwinpr-environment0.1 libwinpr-file0.1 libwinpr-handle0.1 libwinpr-heap0.1 libwinpr-input0.1 libwinpr-interlocked0.1 libwinpr-library0.1 libwinpr-path0.1 libwinpr-pool0.1 libwinpr-registry0.1 libwinpr-rpc0.1 libwinpr-sspi0.1 libwinpr-synch0.1 libwinpr-sysinfo0.1 libwinpr-thread0.1 libwinpr-utils0.1 libwps-0.3-3 libx11-dev libx11-doc libx264-142 libxapian22 libxau-dev libxcb-composite0 libxcb1-dev libxdmcp-dev libxfce4util6 libxfcegui4-4 libxt-dev linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 lksctp-tools pkg-config policykit-1-gnome python-cddb python-cffi python-cups python-dbus-dev python-defusedxml python-docutils python-imaging python-musicbrainz2 python-ndg-httpsclient python-pexpect python-pil python-ply python-ptyprocess python-pycparser python-pygments python-renderpm python-reportlab python-reportlab-accel python-roman python-smbc python-soappy python-wstools qdbus qt-at-spi qtchooser qtcore4-l10n vlc-nox x11proto-core-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev xfce-keyboard-shortcuts xfce4-artwork xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin xfce4-volumed xorg-sgml-doctools xtrans-dev Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

Thanks I've also noticed after upgrade that xfce4-terminal has a broken UI. All of the menu bar buttons are mashed together without any spacing in between, and the vertical scrollbar has disappeared. I would post a screenshot somewhere, but I'm not sure where is the best place to put it for a mailing list. -- Tom
