FYI, xfcalendar was added to the xfce4 group, but it won't be installed by a simple "pacman -Syu".
A manual sync of xfcalendar is needed to get a full featured xfce4 4.0.3 desktop
Furthermore, it has an annoying bug, which is in the software itself not in the
package:
Open it the first time, it doesn't pop up a window but appears in the systray
only. Closing it from the systray and reopen it wil bring you the window. This
happens because it doesn't find a config file which will be created only after
it will be closed properly (from the systray). You can work around it by open
the settings (rightclick desktop) choose All Settings-> XFCalendar then do
your settings and close. This will create the needed config file, too. This must
be done before you open xfcalendar first.

2 Aurelien: I'm currently revising the dependencies in the xfce4 packages.
2 Major issues:
1. xfce4 configs are done as xml-files mostly. Until now we had the
dependency fullfilled this way:
libxfcegui4->gtk2->librsvg->libxml2. This has changed, now librsvg is
dependent on gtk2. This breakes some xfce4 deps.
2. I will take care of the makedepends and do that strictly. Many packages
depend on the libgui and libmcs only. The panel or the mcs-manager are
makedepends only. Some of the apps might be useless when the panel is
not installed. But using the actual dependencies only make a mixture of
panels backgrounds and WMs easier like some people do it. For the
others we have groups in pacman. Tell me what you think, please.
You will get a mail with the revised PKGBUILDs when its done.

]]>i took a look at the xfce4 mailinglist and they detected some serious bugs
in 4.0.2. This release is already requested at the forum. I droped a message
there.
Here:
http://lunar-linux.org/pipermail/xfce4- … 09204.html
you find what happened. It might make sense to wait until 4.0.3 hits the
road.
