Yes, I'm still using your packages. Tried the new ones and didn't care for them. That is, I was using Xfce 4.10, but the Friday the 13th -current upgrades fried it. Oh, well... It will eventually get fixed (I hope )

BTW, perhaps my old eyes just didn't see them, but whomever built the new packages didn't build xfwm4 or xfwm4-themes and they are not included in his xfce4.10 package.
Just FYI.

Sorry i have forgot it :/
Xfwm4 is available NOW...
Sorry for inconvenience.

@ralvex, do your newest packages work on -current since last Friday's update?

i think but i don't know. my system work with 13.37 release.

I've tried it. Downloaded all the necessary packages and then some. Deleted (removepkg) the old installation and started from scratch.
When it fires up there is no desktop, so to speak, just a black screen.
The panels are present and you can move them around and add items to them, but you cannot change their appearance.
You cannot change the appearance of the desktop as it isn't there.
Right clicking on the desktop produces nothing.
You can use the menus and look at your desktop settings and even add wallpaper and see the thumbnail of the same, but it will not appear on the desktop.
Most of the icons on the menu are not visible.
If you add a "launcher" to the panel you can manually add the correct icon if it doesn't appear.
Fonts and the size of the fonts cannot be changed. Oh, you can go through the steps, but nothing will change.
Thunar does not work. However, you can change your default applications and use Dolphin from KDE. Most of the time I use MC in a terminal anyway.
You can change the "window manager," but as you know that really doesn't change much more than the border around each open window.
Turning on Compositing makes matters worst.
Most applications seem to work. Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Opera, Google Earth, LibreOffice, Adobe Reader, VirtualBox, etc., and most of the plug-ins seem to work. I say, "seem" as they fired up, but I haven't tried to actually do anything with them, except Opera and Pidgin.
Wicd works, but NetworkManager does not.

So, there you go. If you don't mind a black screen you can use it.


Edit in: Just for chuckles I fired up XSnow and it is running very well on the desktop that isn't there.

I try it in virtual machine tonight (french hour )

EDIT: I have a problem to upgrade my virtual machine (virtualbox (salix 64)): upgrade work fine, i reinstall "guest addition" for news kernel => it's ok.
I reboot, but my desktop load load load :/ I think i have a problem with Xorg.
I tried 'xorgsetup' but my session don't launch...

If anyone wants to build their own xfce-4.10 for the post-Friday-the-13th-current, I've made an updated full set of SlackBuilds and a script to run them all. Seems to work fine. Download the tarball from GitHub. Here's the README that explains what to do. Note that this stuff doesn't work on 13.37, or on -current from before Friday 13th.
