XFC (Xfce Foundation Classes) is a C++ binding for the GTK+, Glade and 
Xfce libraries. The current development release is 4.3.1.  The XFC 
development cycle is working towards a stable 4.4 release, to coincide 
with Xfce 4.4 when it's released.

The GTK+ bindings are quite stable and require GTK+ 2.6.0 or better. The 
Glade bindings are also stable and require libglade 2.4.0 or better. The 
Xfce libraries which extend GObject/GTK objects are still under 
development but should be included in the XFC 4.3.2 release.
