Vector & Caitlyn,
Thanks for packaging and posting this. Everything looks good so far. I'll report problems, if any.
Tom

I guess the xfce4-power-manager package is not listed in the slack-required, so when you install the new xfce4, your logout dialog has 2 new buttons for suspend and hibernate, but they have no icons, and you get an error message when you click either one of them

I've not tested this xfce but it's somewhat related to xfce. Could we get in touch with the webmaster of xfce.org and ask if we can be here too? http://www.xfce.org/download/distros |

It mostly works, but the panel has some weird colours in most Appearance settings, as well as loosing the multiple launcher menu arrows also in most of them. No mixer applet icon in any icon set including Tango. Cannot edit the menu with right-click as in 4.4.x, but this might not be package-related.

Fixing the missing volume control icon (xfce4-mixer) in the panel (Xfce 4.6.0): I tried a number of things - reinstalling the hi-color icons in Gslapt is what I believe did it for me. If it doesn't work for you, let me know, and I'll share the other things I tried. Background info I dug up was from below and other places: http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=4701.0Cheers, LLL P.S. I disappeared from Vector-land for a while. Back now, and VL 6 is one tasty cookie. Thanks for some fine baking! |

Thanks for the package, followed the above posts and managed to get the mixer icon to show.
Would love to have 4.6.1 packaged? Has a lot of bug fixes apparently.
Is there anyway to get the desktop right click menu to show apps, as in 4.4.3 ?

Re-install hicolor-icon-theme in gslapt, then ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X. LLL, posted above. I tried it and it works. Thanks LLL |
