Well folks I believe the XFce maintainer for Mandrake has shafted XFce 
for th 8.2 release.....
Quoting an anonymous "source"

 I am very disappointed with the lack of
interest on the part of the "maintainer" who as I mentioned before
a couple of years ago expresesed disdain for XFce....So  what
does one expect!!??? 
Anyhow Does anyone else on this List with the capability
wish to enter the distro-maintainer wars for the next distro-release !!???
If so let Mandrakesoft know... As Oliver will attest, they jerk things around rpm-wise, but it would be for a "Noble Cause" :o)
Ah, to quote the anonymous source further....
>If that sounds disorganized--well, how do you herd cats?......
Up here we call it "quit activing like a moose's ass"
If I had anything but a modem connect 
I would be downloading Sourcerer about now !!!
(But with a dozen copies of Mandrake laying around I'll
be staying with it for awhile, with the 
"latest and greatest" Xfce, of course.....)
