I'm well aware of the current state of things.  I haven't touched Xfce
in 2 years, and my general commitment level (and amount of spare
time!) right now is pretty low.  Until I (or someone) has time to
implement a proper solution, or unless someone else wants to step up
to work on an interim solution, you're on your own.

GNOME compat mode hasn't really changed much for at least 3 or 4
years, back when "GNOME compatibility" meant something very different
than it does now.  It really needs a complete overhaul, and I'm not
prepared to do that right now, or possibly at all.  I haven't run
GNOME in about 6-7 years, so I don't even know *what* GNOME compat
should even look like.  Someone else will have to take on that task.
