Funtoo Current Xfce New Installation desktop problem

[ser]

I've installed Funtoo Current to try it again, because stable version is now deprecated.

I have some problems with Xfce desktop:

1) The desktop icons appears with an horrible white background text labels; the file .gtkrc-2.0 to enable transparent label text background as no effect

2) The xfce4-places-plugins crashes;

3) Lightdm don't remember last user; every time i must digit my username

 

With other my old Funtoo (stable)/Gentoo Xfce installations i don't have these problems.

 

can anyone help me?

I couldn't emerge xfce4, actually xfce4-meta package, there is some conflict, xfconfig is blocking xfce4-panel, and both are required,

that never happened before. So I restored previous installation which works good.

Maybe it was something in my configuration, I'll look more into it.

xfce-base/xfconf-4.13.3 requires non-existent dependency

Thanks cardinal, and thanks Oleg for fix.

 

Just to inform about ebuild for binutil-libs, seems that it needs to be upgraded, I found some missing files.

1) I have not had this problem

2) I dont have xfce4-places-plugin installed

3) This however is something I am also having trouble with. And I have still not found any solution.

 

I am also having trouble since xfce-extra/xfce4-mixer started to fail during build. (gentoo bug #628424)

# xfce4-mixer is discontinued upstream and no longer considered part
# of the DE since 4.12. It requires vulnerable gstreamer:0.10, and no

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
      from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.

Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] n
