Yea I want to know the same, if they will be updated to 4.4.1. Also any chance of having x.org 7.2 backported as it has 3D acceleration drivers for those old S3 savage on-board graphics cards. As the main problem is ubuntu 7.04 is too heavy for old laptops, it would be nice to have this option on dapper.

I’ve been running these on edgy since I found this site. The only problem I had is with xfburn, that was solved by installing the prior (dapper) version. It appears to pass “speed=” on the command lin causing cdrecord to blow up. I haven’t looked into the cause or if a fix is out yet.

Thanks for these great packages.
Now I cn have VFCE 4.4 in my dapper box.
One think I am having problems with is with thunar-volman.
Ican mount and CD/DVD device as with gnome but with USB stick devices is impossibles.
When I plug in the stick the icon appears in the desktop but no thunar window with the stick contents appears, and even worse, If I try to right click on the icon to manually mount the device I get an “Impossible to mount ….: Unknown Error”
I have disabled the gnome-volumne-manager and activated thunat volume manager to do the tests.
Somebody having the same problem?

Hey thanks for the xfce 4.4.0 repositories. They worked like a charm. xfce terminal now has true transparency!!! Again thanks for taking the time out to do this!

These packages are from feisty, so all what is in feisty are here without changes. This is for a safe upgrade to a feisty in future. The file xfce4-panel-1.0.pc is included in xfce4-panel-dev package, but is named as libxfce4panel-1.0.pc. To comply with xfce googies requirements just do a symlink on that file:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxfce4panel-1.0.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xfce4-panel-1.0.pc

Great work on the package. I installed xfce 4.4 on ubuntu 6.10 and it work like a charm! I only have some problems when compiling the goodies from the xfce website. It seems the xfce4-panel-1.0.pc (and more?) file is missing in the pkgconfig dir, so pkgconfig does not now about the panel library. Could you please fix this?
