Great Nick.
Do in the right time.
No rush.
Get the right time.
Xfce 4.8 is very mature UI and unbelievable stable, and i expect the same with the next release, 4.10.
I am using for about 2 years and all that i have to talk about him is "THE BEST"
Nick, i am still waiting for a way to help you, but i have no skill to do, i use very well linux, but i don't make programs.
You need give us a way for donate to the project, to give you, the team, the forum, ways to at least, KEEP with the GREAT, GREAT, GREAT job that the team have been doing.
Because, man, once again, hell of a job, xfce is a state of art, i spend a lot of the day in the computer, and for me, use xfce is pretty much fun to use and access my files, folders e program and save me a lot of time.
All the best for the entire team.
Tnx

hey nick, love xfce, ridiculously excited for 4.10. was curious though ... is that delay-on-first-open bug when gvfs-backends is installed going to be fixed? im setting automount to false to circumvent the issue now, but network browsing without the (admittedly minor) inconvenience and sshfs via GUI are really the only two features I've even come close to missing.

Not we're going to skip thunar-desktop for this release, too much complications we want to agree on first.

Jannis wants to complete the new side-pane for thunar.

I too would gladly buy an Xfce T-Shirt. Though as Lightning_John said, it's more likely to be a hassle.
I simply interpret the lack of donation requests as a good sign.
And by the looks of it, if something needs financing, there will be plenty of happy donators.

Agree with him in the above post ^ T-shirts is a pretty good idea. Maybe more work than it's worth though. It's up to the developers to decide.

Thumbs in the Desktop also.

I have another question, why XFCE don't sell t-shirts and sticker.
Because, i want to donate, but searching in the forum i found that in the moment this options don't exist.

Team o XFCE, there is one problem when people talk about XFCE, is the fact that XFCE replace gnome2 in his life, but this is a wrong way to see the thing, When a moved from Windows to Linux world, first off all, i think "how that i can let his most like windows!" after a time, a get it, i get the point, Linux is not a REPLACER of Windows, and then i stop to complain about "why that i can do that in windows and here i can't?!"
Ubuntu, Sabayon, Fedora, Mandriva, CentOs, ARCH... THEY ALL ARE NOT MAKE TO REPLACE WINDOWS, they are OS, as the windows, BUT, you must keep in mind one thing they are make for people and not for windows user that left the windows.
Well, that is a point, that i want to use in here, the people, must understand, that, the guys of XFCE, when they give his tears and time to do the XFCE they don't do to the XFCE can be a replacer of gnome or whatever else, i guess, they do for this will be a another alternative in the Linux world.
So... what that im saying is, don't think gnome, think XFCE, don't look at the gnome thinking "how can we do this to XFCE!"
One think that XFCE must give the attention is the is not just the OS or just the GUI how must evolve, but the user to, at the beginning of my XFCE using, i don't get how easy is to do the things, even more if i take a look at here, in the forum.
FOR ME, XFCE still the same, they JUST give a cut in the corners, to make more soft, more ... a sample about what that i am talking is...
DELETE in NTFS partition,
The Thunar cant drag and drop things at desktop wit, dragging with right button
Select and move few items at same time in the desktop
Fix that problem that panels gone.
Shows thumb in more files type, as in rmvb (here, in Brasil, rmvb is largely used)
Thunar bars must be more customizable

I make a way to "solved" all this problems, even with the XFCE FORUM helping in his post, but im saying that some fix must be there from the start, and in my mind thats what i expect from you guys

AND PLEASE try to don't take nothing from what we can use, because, is there that the problem is, when they took the things off, this is the problems.

Well, again, i hope you understand that interested in help with my basic knows about Linux and XFCE as a user, i hope this help in something.

But,above everything, really thank you guys for XFCE.

I particularly liked the Unity and Gnome Shell, but not abandoned XFCE for nothing.

I think XFCE but must evolve! But I am hopeful that when this happens the modularity of Xfce and good taste are maintained. Maybe change the Applications menu with something like the Mint Menu mixed with Appfinder would be interesting ... This is my suggestion considering netbook users like me.
