Hi Reinoud,

I'd be more than happy to work with you on maintaining Xfce up to date 
in pkgsrc.

I've started work to update Xfce to 4.8.
I have a set of patches ready for review, I'll send them to you tonight 
- I don't
have access to my dev machine from $WORK.
So far, I've updated all dependencies for Thunar to their latest 
versions, as well
as Thunar itself. Still work to do to update xfwm, xfce4-session.... .

Guillaume.
