alignment, and more. You can pre-order the book at a discount
from his web site, or wait for it to hit print and all major
ebook retailers.</p>

<p>Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and
Unix-like platforms including FreeBSD. It aims to be fast and
lightweight while still being visually appealing and easy to
use.</p>
<p>There were no major updates in the ports tree except cosmetic
changes (fix pkg-plist, switch to USES= libtool, and so
on).</p>
<p>Still, the Xfce team continues to keep each piece of the Xfce
Desktop up to date. That is why we are working on the next
stable release (no date scheduled).</p>
<p>Major changes will be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Switch to USES</li>
<li>Support of GTK2 (default toolkits) and GTK3
(optional)</li>
<li>GNOME like default icons theme</li>
<li>Enhance documentation (handbooks, FAQ)</li>
</ul>
