panel 4.13.0 xfconf trouble

Hello,

I built panel 4.13.0 and xfconf 4.13.1 and they don't seem to be working well together:

xfconf alone seems to be working fine (with default config):

──── xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-2/position
p=8;x=100;y=1064

But the panel won't load the default config or save a newly made config in the parameters application, it always results in an empty panel:

And running the panel from the command line yields to following messages:

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

I should add that I've updated all other components of xfce from source and they seem to be working fine.

Hello and welcome.

xfce4-panel doesn't support xfconf 4.13 yet. You need to build it with xfconf 4.12.1 for the time being until it is migrated over to support xfconf 4.13.

Thanks for the quick reply ToZ. Do you know if that is a big change or if I could apply some patch to avoid rolling back xfconf to 4.12.1?

Re: panel 4.13.0 xfconf trouble

I'm not aware of a patch. I have an xfconf 4.12 directory that I install from then I build and install xfce4-panel and then follow that up with another build/install of xfconf 4.13 for the other components. A little tedious but I'm sure it will be ported over shortly.
