            Bug ID: 16027
           Summary: Make 3D support optional
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Libxfce4ui
           Version: 4.14.0
          Hardware: Other
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: mi+xfce-2014 at aldan.algebra.com
  Target Milestone: 4.14

One of my xfce4 desktops is a VM running inside Virtual Box. For whatever
reason(s), the 3D functionality no longer works in the emulator.

This wouldn't have bothered me, because I do not use the system for anything
3D, but, unfortunately, various aspects of the desktop itself broke. For
example, the panel and window manager are still coming up, but most of the
panel add-ons (like weather or xkb) no longer start.

The mousy-menu is visible and pops up, but cannot start most of the items --
the message (captured in ~/.xsession-errors) is always the same, complaining
about lack of 3D support.

I'm fairly certain, this is not a problem of the individual components, but is
somewhere in the code they share.

FWIW, lyx -- a Qt5 application -- would not start either.

Likewise, gvim was refusing to start too -- until I recompiled it to use Athena
widgets instead of GTK2.
