this release was far from being my work alone. Thanks to everyone who
submitted patches, bug reports, helped us test things, and especially
to all the translators!

  Sounds like you're running into this bug:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11160 Sorry we missed it
prior to release, but the good news is that Simon P was quick with a
fix.

Cheers,
