<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I perfectly agree, let's just port
things for the moment. As an exception, I'll fix the thing of
pluggability as I already have some code. <br>
<br>
BTW, while making the configuration of Thunar pluggable, I
discovered a possible Gtk bug present in version 2 and 3 as well.
If you use GtkImage with markup link, you don't get anymore the
"activate-link" signal when you plug in a socket. I submitted a
bug report with some minimal code to illustrate the bug.<br>

I'm currently working to make the settings dialogs that are
not<br>
pluggable in the settings manager, pluggable. Also, I'm
developing three<br>

time/date). I'll also<br>

<div>There's actually a roadmap for the next stable release,
Xfce 4.14 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap">https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap</a>),
and we decided not to implement any new features but to
instead focus on porting to Gtk3. Obviously this is not as
fun as implementing features, but we really need to get this
done and the way we decided to do it most efficiently (also
in terms of minimizing regression potential) is by porting
1:1.</div>
<div>I personally welcome the settings manager improvements
you suggest, but as I said, first I think we need to port to
Gtk3. (We could make exceptions for things like making all
dialogs pluggable, as that might not really be seen as a new
feature but as a current bug I guess, but we should discuss
our stance on this.)</div>

<div>Note that Nick started with the user settings a longer
time ago, not sure why and how it stalled, but you can still
find it here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Depends upon how much free time I get, I might also work on
the power<br>
manager and Parole. (probably there is no need, as both are
perfectly<br>
maintained!)<br>
