How to get into xfce/gtk development?

[Martin crysman Zahradník]

Or you could start with something simple, like fixing time-out plugin:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9650

there have been some fixes waiting since 2009...
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=time-out&list_id=9808

Cheers and thanks for volunteering!
