Re: XFCE upgrade wheezy->jessie feedback
Martin,
This has to do with the panel separator in xfce 4.10. You have to add
a separator between window buttons and workspace switcher. Then you
need to set style to transparent and check the expand check box. This
is how I was able to emulate xfce 4.8 in 4.10.
