Xfdesktop porting plan:
Branch: http://git.xfce.org/users/eric/xfdesktop/log/?h=gtk3 Feel free to request commit rights if you'd like to push patches to help with porting.
Port xfdesktop/settings
- Completed: 10% - it compiles and runs.
Port xfdesktop/src with –disable-desktop-icons
- This way the focus is just on the parts that render the background
- GdkPixmap is gone
- Completed: 0%
Port the rest of xfdesktop/src
- The iconview is a custom widget, replace it with a GtkGrid packng the icon and a GtkLabel? Or use cell renderers?
- Completed: 0%
Additional items:
- Switch to using GNotification and drop libnotify dependency
- Switch to GDBus and drop libdbus dependency
- Remove the old fallback code for supporting old Gtk/Glib versions
- Use Garcon-gtk for the right-click menu and drop our own custom version
- Completed: 0%
