apparently there was some bug discussion on a BSD mailing list.

all I know is that people get nervous when there's no updates in a long
time and the principal developers announce that all effort is going into
a new, from-scratch tree.

I'd like to see GTK2 support in XFce3, but I certainly don't want GTK2
bad enough to switch to XFce4, so I would welcome continuation of the
XFce3 code if it happened, FWIW. My tune might change when XFce4 hits a
beta or RC status and can be installed with ./configure && make && make
install, but that's then and this is now.
