I changed my opinion. Xfce will be removed unconditionally, because of bugs.

The following bugs are listed in my XML file:

http://www.nabble.com/Re:--Libical--libical-0.27-is-now-available-t3444157.html
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2891
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2968
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2789

The following bugs are not linked to, but still described:

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2871
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2020

The following bug will show up with GTK-2.12.x (was noticed only because 
I am subscribed to Debian lists):

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3346

Anyway, BLFS is still at GTK+-2.10.3, but enough people will deviate, 
use an updated GTK+ version, and send mail to the support list.
