Subject: [gentoo-user] How to mask xfce 4.8?

1 My last update bumped XFCE to 4.8, and I quickly learned that it's got
2 some serious bugs. So, I need to roll back to whatever the prevous
3 version was. How do I tell portage to not use 4.8?
4
5 I tried adding this line in /etc/portage/package.mask:
6
7 >=xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.8
8
9 But that does nothing. Do I have to individually mask all 20+
10 components of XFCE?
