Greetings all,

I've just posted (unofficial) packages of Xfce-4.4.0 for Slackware 11.0

 From http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/11.0/ChangeLog.txt

xfce-4.4.0-i486-1_rlw.tgz:  Upgraded to Xfce-4.4.0.  There are quite a few
   noteworthy changes in this build, so be sure to keep reading :)
   1. This package requires the vte, dbus, dbus-glib, and gamin packages
      that are also available from this repository - I am no longer going
      to maintain two different builds of Xfce, so if you want a version
      that runs on a vanilla 11.0 installation, the SlackBuild script and
      sources are available.
   2. You will need to make sure the the messagebus service is started prior
      to launching Xfce - see the dbus package's information for how to do
      that.
   3. Back up your $HOME/.config directory before starting Xfce - the old
      4.2.x configuration is not fully compatible with that of 4.4.x, so you
      will not be able to go back to Xfce-4.2.x and keep your configs unless
      you back them up.
   4. Be sure to run 'xwmconfig' *before* starting Xfce after upgrading -
      this will copy the new xinitrc file into your $HOME/.xinitrc
   5. The xarchiver archive manager that was present in the previous rc/beta
      versions was not shipped with 4.4.0 due to questions as to whether it
      was ready - did volkerdi join the Xfce development team? ;-)

Packages available at http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/ - be sure to also get the
