I am, as you know, a strong proponent of doing things right, rather
than doing them fast.
In this case that means that it is not the end of the world if Gentoo
ebuilds do not have every single patch found in other distributions.
It also means that if I had strong interest in XFCE then I would work
on getting patches from other distribution upstream, so that Gentoo
did not need to have any patches at all.
unrealistic as all the plugins listed here have no upstream, as in, bugs
get filed at bugzilla.xfce.org and plugins are not marked as obsolete in
git...
but they still have next to nobody looking after them. only translations
get submitted through automated process
so unless you are willing to go that far as introducing yourself at the
xfce devel mailing list and accepting the mantle of upstream of them, we
are really stuck at this distribution level patching just like others
Xfce 4.12 is on it's way and does not have libxfcegui4, as in,
pre-releases are for nearly every core component of pre-4.12 are out
