3 Modified: xfce-config.xml
4 Log:
5 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?

64 -Upgrading from Xfce 4.2 to 4.4 isn't hard, but neither is it as simple as most
65 -upgrades. With the release of 4.4, many older packages are either deprecated, or
66 -their functionality has been included into the desktop in some other manner.
67 -</p>
68 -
69 -<p>
70 -First, update your Portage tree (<c>emerge --sync</c>), then see what Xfce
71 -updates are available (<c>emerge -pvtuD world</c>).
72 -</p>
73 -
74 -<p>
75 -You'll notice that there will be a list of packages that block upgrading, as
76 -most 4.2 packages cannot coexist with 4.4 packages. Here, the solution is pretty
77 -straightforward: just unmerge the blocking packages, as described in the <uri
78 -link="/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&amp;chap=1">Portage
79 -Handbook</uri> and <c>man emerge</c>, then continue with the update.
80 -</p>
81 -
82 -<p>
83 -Next, you may need to rebuild certain packages, such as applications linked
84 -against <c>dbus</c>. You'll need to first install <c>gentoolkit</c> for this.
85 -Then, once <c>gentoolkit</c> is installed, run:
86 -</p>
87 -
88 -<pre caption="Rebuilding packages">
89 -# <i>revdep-rebuild -p</i>
90 -<comment>(If you see any output about broken packages, run this next command)</comment>
91 -# <i>revdep-rebuild</i>
92 -</pre>
93 -
94 -<note>
95 -For more information, please read <c>man revdep-rebuild</c> and our <uri
96 -link="/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml">Gentoolkit Guide</uri>.
97 -</note>
98 -
99 -<p>
100 -Once the rebuild has finished, run <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> again, just to make
101 -sure you have a clean and consistent world. If anything still shows up, keep
102 -repeating <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> and <c>revdep-rebuild</c> until there's no
103 -more output about broken packages. Most Xfce update problems stem from
104 -<c>dbus</c> issues, as Xfce uses <c>dbus</c> quite extensively.
105 -</p>
106 -

131 -Make sure you familiarize yourself with all the new options available in the new
132 -Settings Manager. Of interest are the options in the Desktop screen; Xfce can
133 -now manage your desktop and place icons on it.

137 -There's also a Window Manager Tweaks screen, in which you can adjust the
138 -behavior of windows, workspaces, and transparency (if enabled). Xfce 4.4 has
139 -slightly changed the default behavior of workspaces and active window focus. If
140 -you find that clicking a hyperlink in one workspace switches your browser to
141 -that workspace from another one (or similar annoying window focus behavior), try
