Release notes for 4.11.2
========================
[Please note that this is a development release.]

Third development release of xfdesktop targeting for Xfce 4.12.
Please report all problems at bugzilla.xfce.org.

* Xfdesktop-settings:
  - Add xfconf property to toggle the display of the add/remove
    workspace menu items in the middle click menu (Bug 4278, 7337)
  - Add an info bar to xfdesktop-settings so it is clearer on how
    to customize additional workspaces and monitors (Bug 10460)
  - Keyboard navigation has been improved in xfdesktop-settings

* Port Xfdesktop to the GApplication API:
  - Xfdesktop now uses the GApplication API to handle process
    uniqueness, message passing, and life cycle management.

* Improve how Xfdesktop transitions from the login manager to
  the initial wallpaper display; all bugs were reported and
  resolved by Alistair Buxton:
- Don't set the root pixmap until it's been drawn
- Don't show the window until the background is ready.
- Don't set ESETROOT.

* Miscellaneous fixes:
- Scale down over-sized icons in menus so they have a uniform
  appearance (Bugs 10545, 10461)
- Move max-template-files xfconf property
- Remove old GLIB/GTK macro checks
- Update man page
- Wait for the window manager to prevent issues where the
  wallpaper and icons won't show up on additional screens
  during startup (Bug 7769)
- Fix icon renames causing duplicate icons
- Fix icons for .desktop files with absolute paths
- Don't show hidden or backup files on the desktop (Bug 9001)
- Fix a couple warning messages that happen when xfdesktop is
  shutdown while it's still starting up
- Improve how backdrops are chosen
