Hey I found there are updates to XFCE on the angstrom reop.


Current openpandora feed contains libxfcegui version 4.6.1-r5.5


Angstrom feed contains libxfcegui 4.6.4-r0.6 in glibc, while eglibc repo is more up to date with 4.8.1-r0.


http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=libxfcegui4-4


So far I installed 4.6.4 which seemed to work OK, while 4.8.1 booted into XFCE with a black screen and cursor :) shutdown window popped up fine though!


That's about as far as I've played around with it :D


Hmmm, after a bit of browsing just found this old thread about XFCE 4.8. No progress here since 2011?


And since April 2012 XFCE 4.10 is out!

Doesn't it looks sexy? Don't worry - you can still make XFCE 4.6 look sexy.

I think XFCE needs some love -> its still the default GUI shipping with SZ1.52


Surely someone can build 4.8 or 4.10 for our lovely Pandoras? Think of all the functionality and bugfixes we're missing out on! :D

Head over to the .next section.


Thi will hopefully become the next firmware version and it already runs XFCE 4.10

ED, will it have gnome3/gtk3 and python3 support as well ? There are more and more applications asking for such requirements, and moving out of the older gtk2 / python 2.x requirements. If we want to keep applications up to date this will be very much needed.
