What ever solution you guys decide, it has to be committed quickly.
With Xfce's new release 4.2 coming soon, and apparently KDE is also having
(or is going to have) problems here, a patch can't wait for too long.
Upgraded versions of these Window managers won't start on 5.3-Stable;
an unexperienced user may have great difficulties in finding out what's
going on.
Maybe a temporary working patch would do.
However, is it possible to require a system upgrade with a port upgrade?
Regards,
Rob.
