Hello,
I want to know if anything will be done with these old bugs in the 4.6 version
of Xfce:
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783 (xfprint relies on a2ps which
doesn't work at all for UTF-8 and will never be fixed)
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2871 (xfce4-tips uses the "fortune"
program that depends on the dead librecode library that has critical bugs that
will never get fixed)
IMHO, the optimal solution would be to drop xfce4-tips and xfprint (and disable
printing in Mousepad - removing a non-working menu option is never a regression).
