Hi Gerhard, sorry for the delay, somehow the bug was never sent to our mailing
list.

verve-focus has indeed been dropped from the package following the GTK3
rewrite. Here are the upstream developer words from the release mail:

- 
verve-focus has been dropped, because I don't have the knowledge or time
necessary to maintain it. If you can get it working, let me know.
- 

If it's really useful for you, I can forward the bug on the Xfce bugzilla to
let the developer know there are end-users missing the feature, but unless
you're able to provide a patch there's not much to be done.

I'm not quite sure what your issue is with xfce4-goodies dependencies so feel
free to elaborate on that.

Regards,

Package: xfce4-verve-plugin
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Tried to create a shortcut to `verve-focus`, running the shortcut caused the 
not-found error. I then realized, that verve-focus was missing from this 
version.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
Tried to use older version (1.x) instead. This works, however xfce4-goodies has 
dependencies with xfce4-verve-plugin, so I have to either live without 
xfce4-goodies or without verve command line.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Given up on new version of verve-plugin
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Should be possible to go back to v. 1.x, which worked perfectly.
