Actually, that would be only two binaries, xfcalendar and xffm, since
all the others are only hardlinks to xffm.

The problem with linking libxfce4util appeared when xfce4-modules was
moved to libxfcegui4. Before that, xffm would link correctly with the
alternate libxfce4util. But now, when libxfcegui4 compiles, it checks
and finds the alternate libxfce4util, but when it links it finds the old
libxfce4util. I'm quite confused with this and don't know what causes
it. I just overwrote the old libxfce4util with the new and moved on.
Maybe someone else on the list know?
