dpkg -l xfce4 gives 4.1.99.2+cvs.20041211-1-4.10ubp1, "ubp1" i assume is
the backports repo I added to my warty install on my laptop. the
attached screenshot shows the about window. Calling it RC2 or something,
not quite 4.2 but as good as and you dont have to compile the bugger. As
much as I love xfce4 on my laptop, im running it cause its lighter than
gnome on my poor laptop so having to compile the whole thing is not fun.
