<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have been working on a package that I am calling (for now)
xfce4-desktop-service.</p>
<p>The purpose of this package is to provide the D-Bus service
Thunar normally provides if Thunar is not present. Essentially,
allowing users to have whatever file manager they want, and have
desktop icons. That way, they don't need multiple file managers
installed.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am wanting to make this package part of the official Xfce
project, that way it will be easier to get it up-stream for others
to use.</p>
<p>It is currently written in Python, and I am still working on
getting a couple small bugs out. But for the most part it is
working correctly.</p>
<p>If I need to convert it to C to have it included in Xfce that's
fine. If i could have some help doing that, that would be
fantastic as I'm a little rusty on C/C++.</p>
<p>If it doesn't get pulled into Xfce, is it alright if I leave the
package name, or will I be required to change it?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
