SVN-20121102 does include Tumbler.  The issue was that configure set up
"make install" so tumblerd had the canonical prefix, i.e.
"i686-pc-linux-gnu-tumblerd".  --program-prefix="" fixes that.  I never
have learned under what circumstances CMMI adds the prefix.  I know it
comes up when making LFS, but that's never been a problem.

Not in this SVN.

 Thunar Dependencies

Optional

libnotify-0.7.5, startup-notification-0.12, and udev-Installed LFS
Version or udev-extras (from systemd) (for gudev).

Not particularly, but for an SVN in general.

Tango is never mentioned except at the project from which one gets the
icon-naming-rules.

[15:31 blfs]$ grep -r tango *
general/icon-naming-utils.html:               
"http://tango.freedesktop.org/releases/icon-naming-utils-0.8.90.tar.bz2";>
general/icon-naming-utils.html:               
http://tango.freedesktop.org/releases/icon-naming-utils-0.8.90.tar.bz2</a>
[15:31 blfs]$

And icon-naming-rules is never mentioned as an xfce4 dependency.

[15:36 blfs]$ grep -r -l icon-naming-utils *
general/general.html
general/imagemagick.html
general/hd2u.html
general/icon-naming-utils.html
general/genutils.html
gnome/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic.html
gnome/gnome-icon-theme.html
index.html
longindex.html
[15:36 blfs]$

But we are always on-notice that SVN's are "working documents" and
may not be complete.
