Hi,

I was having trouble building xfce-3.8.3-1 (the version currently
in "stable"); I kept getting a linker error near the end.

Eventually, I tracked it down to the patch that comes with
xfce-3.8.10 (in "unstable"), which patches configure to add the
"-flat_namespace" flag to the linker step that was, in fact,
failing.

So I created a new patch file and added a PatchScript line to the
info file, and that seems to have done it.

Since this "bug" has already been fixed (albeit still in unstable
for now), I guess this isn't big news, except to let everyone know
that building the stable version of xfce doesn't work without some
trickery.  That said, is there somewhere I can send/post/submit
what I did, on the off chance that it might be useful before
xfce-3.8.10 moves from unstable to stable?  Or am I the only one
out here still trying to stick to stable at all?

Regards,
Dan
