Hi all
For anybody using xfce4 as their desktop, I wanted to share my
progress
regarding the new release.
[snip]
What about dependencies to gtk2/gtk3? Do we still need both?
An
ldd /opt/X11/bin/xf* |grep gtk
(that's where I have all xfce4 stuff) returns only
/opt/X11/lib/libgtk-3.so.0
so, no program, apart from xfburn (which I quickly deinstalled, just
to check) links to gtk2 anymore.
On the panel plugins side, only xfce4-xkb-plugin still links to
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, even if re-compiled.
Do we need still xfce4-xkb-plugin? I'm not sure how we use it.
I don't think so, there is an xfce4-keyboard-settings in xfce4-settings,
which should do basic stuff. As far as I remember, xfce4-xkb-plugin
would allow for easy switching between keyboard layouts from the panel
itself, but this is really not something you need on a hardwired desktop
system.
I see the point only in vnc sessions that are used by different people
with different layouts.
I see now. I had to add the plugin to the panel before I could use it,
but it looks just like the one in the settings manager.
I'm not sure about your comment about a vnc. Wouldn't each user be able
to set it independently using the settings manager if using something
like tigervnc? It seems that it would be a very unusual situation if
multiple users logging into a shared vnc session would want different
keyboard layouts and even then I'd think it would have the be the vnc
client controlling the keyboard.
Also, did you build gtk-xfce-engine? I don't think we need that either.
