Quick sum-up of fixes: - Leak in window manager's pixmap management - Various file manager fixes - Translation updates - Support for KDE system tray was added Due to the memory leak found in the window manager code, users of all previous versions of xfce4 beta and xfce 4.0.x releases are highly encouraged to upgrade.
Created attachment 23363 [details] xfce 4.0.3 portage (not official)
xfce 4.0.3 fixes a very bad memory leak. (see xfce website). It's easy to run xfce on a machine with 1Gb of RAM. but it's actually quite painful to run it for more than a few days on a machine with 128Mb (gets deep into swap, which just slows everything down).
The new version is on Portage, can I close this bug report?
Well, I think is better close it ..:-)
I'm reopening this bug thread to include XFCE 4.0.3.1. As you can see below, just the xfwm4 is affected in this release. Thank you... "2004/01/12 - XFce 4.0.3.1 released. It's a small bug fix release for xfwm4 that ships with xfce 4.0.3. It fixes a focus problem when using multiple screens (not using Xinerama). xfwm4 is the only package impacted by this release."
fixed thanks
Shouldn't xfce 4.0.3 be moved to stable? For instance I'm using x86 rather than ~x86 so I'm given xfce 4.0.1 which has the serious memory leak. Doesn't seem like stable users should have to install a version with a known memory leak. Can the ~ flag be removed from 4.0.3 or 4.0.3.1?
