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
required dependencies.
