Once the development cycle of Xfce 4.10, and the developers of my Desktop Environment favorite are thinking about the next cycle for the version 4.12 and I must say that the development mailing list is quite active.
From the outset, already Nick schermer ha the debate started about porting the next version of Xfce a gtk3, and the responses, although they have been many and diverse, mark a trend towards the approval of this idea. This is reflected in the Roadmap published in the Wiki, where you can see what is planned to include gtk 3.2. According to the own Nick, it will work on gtk 3.2, since many distributions such as Debian, still use these libraries and not gtk 3.4.
Let's see what happens from now on. If everything goes well, Xfce 4.12 should be ready by March 10, 2013 or one week later. It is a pity that this project does not have more collaboration from other developers

Best regards.
Not at all ... if I just commented on the post there, tell me ... can it be seen from outside the country or only from .CU?
I can see it too
I from Venezuela see it without problems and I already have it on the scoreboards.
Thank you
Very good news, the people of XFCE put the batteries and are working a million, as for Debian, in sid there are already GTK 3.4, as you can see in this link:
http://people.debian.org/~fpeters/debian-gnome-3.4-status.html
Putting two things: First the roadmap is more than incomplete, there is not even a Release Team. For now, among developers, porting Xfce to GTK 3.2 is being considered very seriously, more than anything because apart from the changes in the themes, in the rest GTK 3.4 is very similar.
It should be noted that Olivier Fourdan, the creator of Xfce, participated in the debate (and that for various reasons he no longer participates in development).
As discussed, the main concern is that changes to GTK3 affect the development of Xfce. If at the beginning GNOME was based on GTK, in evolution 3 it is the other way around and GTK evolves meeting the needs of GNOME. Let's not forget that one of Xfce's goals is to depend as little (that is, at all) on GNOME as possible.
Second, I find it interesting that some developer
you have commented on whether it is time to take a big step forward and forget about Gtk and look for other "foundations" for Xfce. Specifically, the libraries that Enlighment E16 is based on.
This would not only imply rewriting the central components of the environment (titanic work taking into account the demands of the group of developers) but it would imply a change in the main version number (Xfce5) which would complicate the passage of users disenchanted with GNOME3 to this environment.
Little by little we are seeing where Xfce 4.12 is pointing and within a year (in the very unlikely event that the calendar is fulfilled) we will leave doubts.
Personally, I like gtk2 more than 3. They should focus on the desktop environment itself rather than its appearance, as I really like the way it is.
@ KZKG ^ Gaara my brother, correct @Pochy's comment, remove the https and leave it at http. To go removing references to the old https that 🙂
