Xfce 4.8 updates open source Linux desktop

“From the ‘Small Footprint’ files:

“The Xfce open source desktop is out with its first major update
in two years this week. Xfce 4.8 brings the low-resource desktop
into the modern era and provides usability improvements across the
board. “Xfce 4.8 is our attempt to update the Xfce code base to all
the new desktop frameworks that were introduced in the past few
years,” The Xfce development team wrote in a statement. “We hope
that our efforts to drop pieces like ThunarVFS and HAL with GIO,
udev, ConsoleKit and PolicyKit will help bringing the Xfce desktop
to modern distributions.”
