UNEMERGEFULL!
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce#Emerge is unemergefull.. Someone should update it so that it doesn't have wrong commands and is simple to understand.

Can't do it by myself since it's indexed.

xarchiver is not available in the Portage tree
Excuse me my English (that is why I write comment, not trying to update article) Article needs in update. is outdated and AFAIR already removed from tree.

For just now Thunar's feature of custom actions together with commandline archive tools could be used instead. I have to have  in  for the restart/shutdown/suspend/hibernate buttons to work in XFCE4. Perhaps it could be mentioned in the article. --Renergy (talk) 20:09, 11 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, Renergy! I checked on my system and it looks like is still available in Portage. I will look into the   option you used to start Xfce. I believe this is needed if the   USE flag has been set on the login manager. :) --Maffblaster (talk) 01:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Bug #498436
 As of writing, the result of bug, having confused 'dconf' and 'dbus', apparently for the sake of allowing GNOME people to write sloppier ebuilds, forces dconf for virtually everyone using glib regardless of using GNOME or not. Putting glib into an overlay for the time being using the following patch will avoid the issue until it's properly resolved: --- /usr/portage/dev-libs/glib/glib-2.46.2-r2.ebuild   2016-03-01 09:11:54.000000000 -0800 +++ /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/glib/glib-2.46.2-r2.ebuild     2016-03-01 19:10:38.993947815 -0800 @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ LICENSE="LGPL-2+" SLOT="2" -IUSE="dbus fam kernel_linux +mime selinux static-libs systemtap test utils xattr" +IUSE="dbus dconf fam kernel_linux +mime selinux static-libs systemtap test utils xattr" REQUIRED_USE="       utils?

mousepad
Further, if you should want to use mousepad & have it work properly without dconf, you will want this ebuild patch:

 * Any discussion on this should be done here., please discuss your reasoning for desiring this patch to be in the main Xfce article before moving it again. At least three Gentoo devs are unified on this point. --Maffblaster (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
