Re: Xfce Backports?
Which panel applets have issues in 4.10? The maintainer said that 4.10 won't be in unstable until after the freeze, so I'm thinking about installing 4.10 from experimental.

Re: Xfce Backports?
If i remember correctly no panel plugins except the built in ones were working when 4.10 arrived in experimental.
I compiled those plugins from source and they work.
I had absolutely no issues with Xfce 4.10 and i use it even before it got in experimental (i compiled from source the whole thing back then). Stable as a rock.

Re: Xfce Backports?
The only real feature change I saw in 4.10 was the ability for tiling in xfwm4. I just installed xfwm4 from an experimental repo on wheezy and everything seems fine. Other than that the difference appears minor imo. And I used arch with 4.10 for the last few months before wanting something a little less cutting edge. I can't really see any major differences.

Xfce 4.10 changes:
http://xfce.org/about/tour
There is a mime editor, finally there are thumbnails on the desktop, mouse and touchpad settings etc. Also there are many bugfixes.

Re: Xfce Backports?
Never even heard of a mime editor until just now , thumbnails on the desktop are nice but i personally don't use any desktop icons, and bug fixes are nice but i haven't noticed any bugs yet . All in all I'm quite happy with 4.8 and a manually upgraded xfwm4. But others might not be to each their own. Just saying that I don't anything from 4.10. But it's a huge improvement over 4.6 imo which wouldn't even let me put a panel on my secondary monitor
