Re: installing xfce theme manager
This package won't work in Debian testing, the reason being that xfce-theme-manager is built against libxfce4ui-1-0 (= 4.11.0), and testing only has version 4.10.0 of this library ATM. Out of interest, once Jessie has been frozen and then becomes stable would this package be upgraded to 4.11.0 or greater?

This is one of the things that they don't tell to a simple Debian user such as me. According to [1], the required version of libxfce4ui-1-0 is in experimental currently. So, it has a chance to enter sid, then testing before Jessie freeze. This chance is slim at best, as there's a single month left before the freeze.

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but maybe this will explain it: - according to the Release Team policy for this freeze Jessie will contain the versions migrated to testing before the freeze[1] - after Jessie is release the gates to unstable are opened for new (major) versions, then it will only require a Maintainer willing to invest the time ;) [1] of course it may happen that minor versions and/or Debian version get increased to fix RC bugs, but for your particular case if 4.11.x has migrated to testing it will be included in Jessie.

I have tried to use Xfce Theme Manager before, and all it did was screw up my Xfce setup. It changed a lot of things I didn't want changed, a I had to manually revert all of it.

Re: installing xfce theme manager
If you want something which is not in the repositories you have to compile it. I downloaded the theme manager tarfile and then had a go at compiling it. I have tried a few times now and I always seem to get a segmentation fault when I try to run the program. I think I have installed all the packages needed to compile it.
