xfce version 3 vs. 4 : missing features?

[edscott wilson garcia]

Most of this in the archives, here and there. This is a summary:

Keyboard configuration.

1- copy $PREFIX/share/xfwm4/themes/default.keys/keythemerc to
~/.themes/xfwm4/custom.keys/keythemerc
2- edit file to your liking (see NOTE below)
3- install xbindkeys and xbindkeys_config (not included in xfce4.0.0)
4- put "xbindkeys" in your ./xfce4/xinitrc file (which has the exec bit
set, of course) If you don't have a ./xfce4/xinitrc file, copy from the
$PREFIX/share/etc/xfce4 directory.
5- run xbindkeys_config and confirm how wonderful xbindkeys can be.

NOTE: For raise and lower windows with keyboard, there is a very small
patch by Michael Smith, but which needs further testing (volunteers,
anybody?)

patch:
