nightmorph 07/12/30 11:23:41 Modified: xfce-config.xml Log: removed 4.2 to 4.4 upgrade section. 4.2 has been gone from the tree for months. some parts of it may be relevant in the future in case of a major ABI/API break from some Xfce point release, if so then that's what CVS history is for, right?
