Xfce 4 Release Candidate #3 is now available

[Paul Ladouceur]

OK, I've compile the whole rc3 thing... Everything seems to work except 
for xftaskbar4:

bash-2.05b$ xftaskbar4
** Message: Cannot connect to session manager
xftaskbar4: relocation error: xftaskbar4: undefined symbol: 
netk_gtk_window_set_type
bash-2.05b$

What's this error?

Regards,
Ti-Paul.
