still at 4.1.99.3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
ok unless i am mistaken the xfce-base/xfce4-base package is no longer emerged with xfce4 and appears to be unnecessary. stronger: emerge -Dup world wanted to downgrade xfce4 to 4.0 while emerge -u xfce4 wanted to upgrade, due to the presense of xfce4-base 4.1.99.3. emerge --unmerge xfce4-base fixed that.
xfce-base/xfce4-base is also being forced to emerge because it is a dependency for the panel plugins. There seems to be newer (-r1) ebuilds in portage that do not require xfce4-base. To use the updated panel plugin ebuilds add this to your /etc/portage/package.keywords and then run emerge -uDp world. =xfce-extra/xfce4-battery-0.2.0-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-clipman-0.4.1-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-cpugraph-0.2.2-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-datetime-0.3.1-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-diskperf-1.5-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-fsguard-0.2.0-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-genmon-1.0-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-minicmd-0.3.0-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-netload-0.2.3-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-notes-0.9.7-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-showdesktop-0.4.0-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-systemload-0.3.4-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-systray-0.2.2-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-weather-0.3.9.1-r1 ~x86 =xfce-extra/xfce4-windowlist-0.1.0-r1 ~x86 That should be all of them, however it's quite possible that I missed a couple. Also, xfce-extra/xfce-themes-4.0.6 still has xfce4-base as a dependency and there is not yet an updated ebuild.
xfce-extra/xfce4-systray is currently at 4.2.0, not 0.2.2-r1. you must have meant xfce-extra/xfce4-taskbar-0.2.2-r1 ....

xfce-themes is deprecated in 4.2 also, that's probably what wants 4.0, I'll add a blocker to that package also.

get xfcerm from dev.gentoo.org/~bcowan and blow out your install, there is a plugin somewhere your missing
make sure you don't have xfce4-themes-4.0.6 installed
Thanks. I'll check the themes first, then if that doesn't work I'll get the cleaner program!
Bingo - I had the 4.0.6 themes installed. Removed it and no more problems. Thank you very much!
figured :P see comment from 1-31, closing
