That's me who reported, and it was rather a nice surprise that XFCE worked on Leap 16.0 just as is ;) I haven't expected it at all. The missing packages I noticed were alsa, alsa-utils, alsa-ucm-conf and such for the desktop audio. I noticed it casually as zypper showed those when I tried to install patterns-icewm in addition. It might have been pulled from pulseaudio in the past. We switched to pipewire, and that can be the reason. Actually the package alsa-utils isn't a must, but alsa and alsa-ucm-conf would be needed for many hardware to make audio working properly. > I recall that there was an experimental Wayland support for Xfce. > What's the status of it in openSUSE?

I checked the builds at my home project, and most of packages could be built successfully without changes. There were some packages with unresolved dependencies (pragha, xfce4-mpc-plugin and xfmpc, IIRC), though. Any objection to enable 16.0 build there? thanks, Takashi
