4.8, e.g.on my Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS is ok on my machine too, 4.10 on
my machine, only running on Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio 12.10 is broken and
following several lists it's broken on other distros too.
The issues caused for Xfce have workarounds, e.g. if you chance settings
and Xfce should ignore it, deleting the cache sometimes helps. Evolution
3.6 OTOH can be used with some workarounds, e.g. by manually setting
colours for a gtk config, but using it still is a PITA, slow
performance, spam filters don't work etc..

It's independent of the kernel. I'm using Ubuntu kernels and a
self-build 3.6.5-rt14.

I didn't test Unity, seems to be buggy too, resp. the bugs might be
features.

spinymouse@q:~$ pidof xfwm4
2388
spinymouse@q:~$ pidof lightdm
2062 1200

Dunno why there are two instances of lightdm running.
