I've got this installed here, but for our purposes, nothing really changed. I like to run this sort of thing for a while, and on multiple machines, before I push it to Pat for inclusion...
Perhaps it's time to remove it from Slackware too?

It's simply because Thunar 1.8.0+ is gtk3-based, therefore you need to use a gtk3-compatible theme.
Unfortunately Xfce themes (gtk-xfce-engine) were dropped, so they won't support gtk3 apps, probably distributions will remove them at some point.
I strongly suggest you to migrate to a well maintained gtk3 theme such as Adwaita or Greybird.
If you really want to stick to a gtk2 theme, you can workaround this by enforcing Thunar (or any other gtk3 app) to use a different theme as described in https://askubuntu.com/a/485662/452351.
I mean, I can probably just remove the package myself, but just thought that the upstream should know.
Although I'm not too sure, as there is something, called:
`gtk3-engines-xfce`, which Debian, for example, can use.
So maybe the package just needs to be replaced, rather than dropped entirely.
Kind of a niche issue, but I noticed after the update to SDL-2.0.9 that rumble with my Sony Dualshock3 controller no longer works with some programs, some examples are sdl2-jstest and mupen64plus.
I next confirmed that it still worked with SDL-2.0.8 and then used a git mirror to bisect between the two releases where I found the first bad commit.
This doesn't have anything to do with the Slackware build of FFMPEG but I had to upgrade FFMPEG to 4.1 because of this error caused by the new libfdk-aac (2.0.0) because I built FFMPEG from source with libfdk-aac enabled: https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac/issues/93
I tried 3.4.5 first but it still gave the error. 4.0.3 also gave the error. I'm not requesting an upgrade because I'm not sure if 4.1 is an improvement over 3.4. I'm just reporting this.
