The first Xfce beta for 4.6 (codenamed “Fuzzy”) has just been release.

As usual, it's available in my private repository, for early testers. As usual, be warned, this is a beta, not supported by Debian in any way.

Bugs can and should be reported to Xfce Bugzilla. The known issues wiki page has been updated, please look at it before any test, to see what's supported and what isn't, see the various problems you may encounter etc.

Some stuff has changed since Pinkie  so some settings aren't valid anymore. Migration script from 4.4 has been updated,but not for alpha users.

I cooked some script to migrate those settings from an alpha:

 #! /bin/sh

for prop in $(xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -l | grep -v provider | grep -v command )
do
  value=$(xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p $prop | tail -n1)
  newprop="/commands/custom${prop}"
  echo "prop=${prop}, newprop=${newprop}, value=${value}"
  xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -n -p ${newprop} -s "${value}" -t string
  xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -r -p ${prop}
done

Enjoy!
