[opensuse-xfce] Xfce 4.8 binaries
Hi, As Xfce 4.8 was released two weeks ago? I would like to ask if the binaries are going to be in the Xfce repos soon? Alternatively, is there a safe way to compile from sources and replace the current 4.7pre2 installation (which are the configure paths, tips etc...).

4.8 packages have been in the X11:xfce repo since the day after the release. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help@opensuse.org

My sincere apologies, I see them now in the Factory builds. I had been checking the 11.3 builds where they have not been updated. Thanks, -- Hector -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help@opensuse.org

No problem, that's because publishing packages for 11.3 was disabled. It's switched on now, please note that the packages for 11.3 are not tested, receive frequent updates and may break sometimes. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help@opensuse.org

It installed them and everything is fine except that window of xfce4-settings-manager has nothing in it. Then i compiled it from sources and it shows accesibility, appearance, display, mouse, keyboard settings (this dialogs come with the sources), but not the rest of options that there used to be (session etc). They all work through their xfce4-* commands though so it's not big deal... I guess this doesn't happen with the Factory builds? I haven't found reports for this so I'm wondering why it happens anyway... -- Hector -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help@opensuse.org

This is a known issue with both Factory and 11.3. xfce4-settings-manager displays entries based on the presence of a X-XFCE category in .desktop files, unfortunately openSUSE's update-desktop-files script unconditionally strips desktop files from all categories it does not know about and I just recently modified it to preserve X-Xfce* and X-XFCE* categories (in fact so recently that the change is not contained in the last Factory snapshot build target). A workaround is to manually add the X-XFCE category to the .desktop files (either globally in /usr/share/applications or per-user in ~/.local/share/applications), you just need to append "X-XFCE;" to the line starting with "Categories=". BTW, I'd really appreciate feedback and testing of X11:xfce on Factory and 11.4 RC1 when it's out.
