Thanks. I'll keep trying. Perhaps it is truly a dependency hell and I
need to wait for a Debian release of everything.

Trying to compile evo, look what happens:

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for libxfce4util-1.0 >= 4.9.0... found, but 4.8.2
*** The required package libxfce4util-1.0 was found on your system,
*** but the installed version (4.8.2) is too old.
*** Please upgrade libxfce4util-1.0 to atleast version 4.9.0, or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed
*** the new version of the package in a nonstandard prefix so
*** pkg-config is able to find it.

I know how to build packages and  used to use Ubuntu in the past, and
remembered their launchpad system. So I took a detour so see if I
could get their packaging and just rebuild it on Debian wheezy.  It is
turning into a hassle though.

Then,I go to build libxfce4util,  and I found out it requires
libxfce4ui_4.10.0., and building that, I find it requires
libxfconf-0-dev (>= 4.10.0). These requirements may or may not be
truly necessary, but they are marked in the Ubuntu packaging, anyway.

Because I'm compulsive, I'm going to keep trying. But I wish somebody
would solve all this for me and just give me the packages.

I've admired the documentation provided on the Archlinux site, maybe I
should give that distribution a try.
