This meta package is the *core* of XFCE, it *only* has in it what is
required to run. Thus, returning XFCE to a minimalistic status in Gentoo
Linux. This is desired because most XFCE users are looking for a
lightweight WM, not a heavy DE. So, users will have to add a terminal,
orage, thunar, etc to the world file instead of relying on a meta package.
Thanks a lot for the update and for the awesome work. One note for the
future:
An ewarn would have been nice for the above point. emerge --depclean
output was a surprise (wanted to unmerge terminal etc) and surprise is
bad. We don't want any surprises.
Thanks again.
I just added this:
* xfce4-meta will just provide a minimal set of packages. You may also
* want to emerge x11-terms/terminal, app-editors/mousepad,
* app-office/orage, etc or similar packages.
* More info can be found at:

Hope that helps.
