#Xubuntu users! Do you still use "indicators"? In particular, the ones that are not compatible with the modern KStatusNotifier spec?

Xubuntu ships the Xfce Indicator and Systray plugins as well as "indicator-messages." Does indicator-messages (the mail icon indicator) still work? Should we consider dropping the Indicator plugin for 25.10 to fix issues like these? I'm leaning towards yes.

@xubuntu 25.04 is looking pretty dreamy now that the wallpaper has landed.

Please help us test the next release, due one week from today: https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/467/builds

In preparation for some other #documentation that I am currently working on, I "accidentally" managed to build a page of #Xfce keyboard shortcuts for the #xfwm4 window manager and some default application shortcuts.

Perhaps it will be useful.

:debian: #Xfce 4.20 chegou a #Debian #sid (unstable) hoje. Vamos ver como fica, já! 🏁 Atualizados os pacotes, basta reiniciar o serviço `lightdm`, no meu caso.

Em breve, a nova versão deverá ser disponibilizada também em #Trixie (atual testing) e provavelmente aproveitável por próximos lançamentos de outras distribuições derivadas como #Xubuntu etc.

Congrats to the @xfce folks for all their fantastic work on #xfce420 and special thanks to all the work they have put in to libxfce4windowing (including responding to questions from us Budgie folks 😃). Lots of great work clearly went into the 4.20 release, the XFCE community should be really proud of all the contributions that made it possible.

If you're an XFCE user and appreciate their work, be sure to spread some cheer during this holiday season (if you can) with a donation to their OpenCollectives!
