Xfce 4.6

The next stable version of the lightweight Xfce desktop environment has been released. Release 4.6 brings a lot of new features in comparison to the previous stable version.

New Xfce provides support for the keyboard shortcuts in the window manager xfwm. The session manager has been equipped with a settings panel that automatically starts an application window in case of its unexpected closure. Thunar enables you to change your desktop wallpaper with the right mouse button and it also supports XDG directories.

The multimedia sub-menu is split into two sub-categories: Audio and Video respectively. Separators offer different styles of presentation. The D-Bus interface has been implemented for a remote control. Calendar has been enriched with the view of the deadlines in the original country format. It also enables you to define new types of terms and alarms. In addition, the support for hibernation through HAL has been added. Installation packages should soon be available in the repositories.
