Thank you upstream developing and packaging team for replacing the effected packages. Yay! These packages have now been upgraded in Sid, 'gir1.2-gtk-3.0, libgtk-3-0. libgtk-3-bin. libgtk-3-common' if you have been using testing and where effected you can temp add Sid repos and upgrade the effected packages, it will pull in a few more packages, but it is fixed.Rats, that didn't work for me. I am running sid. Something upgraded and XFCE no longer starts up after boot. I have to open a terminal and enter startx. Using synaptic I could just start re-installing XFCE packages. But, it be broken where the drop down menu's and right click no longer function. Drats. Ric
I was wondering if XFCE4 was infected. Sorry to hear you're sill having a problem. I'm still good, both synaptic and parole are working okay on Sid and Testing with the plasma 5 desktop. I noticed upstream is letting more bugs into the mix, but don't seem to be effecting me, maybe like Jessie the next release will not be ready, but will be released anyways, with missing packages and excuses. A fixed release cycle sucks, where not getting some bugs fixed, just a new system every 2 years and it seems to have started with Wheezy, when Debian decided not to fix Wheezy's login and instead gave us Systemd instead and a whole lot more new bugs. I'm using Parole cause Kaffeine is pulling in VLC, why it's pulling in VLC I don't know and it don't make since to me having two media players to get the one I want, but Parole uses a lot less packages to work, so I'm okay with that. I may do a XFCE4 install on sda24 to see what's going on, I'll start with a Jessie net-install and then upgrade the base system to Sid/testing. Thanks for the update.
