I also experienced some problems with XFCE 4.13 in Fedora 29:
- weird colors in the workspace switcher (it is difficult to understand what is the current workspace)
- icons in systray do not fit well
- windows sometimes forget their maximization status: if a window is maximized and then "unmaximized", sometimes that window remains maximized (currently, this happened only with xfce-terminal) - some apps has strange behaviour; for instance, the welcome screen of AndroidStudio does not appear at the center of the screen and the menu of the AndroidStudio window looks shifted towards the left
- the XFCE's Applications Menu takes long to appear the first time

Best,

Marco

Libre Office 6 Calc "blinks" at me every two second, until
I activate a cell

Inkscape won't allow me to resize a windowed window until
I double click on the title bar at the top.

And the Xfce mailing list is down.  Maybe they got tired of the
bitching.

Do you know of any Xfce like alternatives?


MATE spin perhaps?  Not exactly like xfce and a bit heavier but it is a fork of Gnome 2, I believe.

I will live USB it.  Thank you!

I must have put seven bugs into Xfce and not a peep out of them.
I wonder if the project is dead?  If so, it is a pity.  I really
like Xfce.
