I find that very hard to believe.

@Frog has a point - dbus-x11
came pre-installed with Manjaro Xfce as recently as a year ago. All those users will still have it installed if they haven’t manually changed it since then.
Adding a warning in the wiki is the least that can be done - so I’ve gone ahead and done that.
FYI: regardless of stance on whether or not gui applications should be launched as root, dbus-x11
is no longer required to do that. launching thunar
and subsequently mousepad
as root using pkexec
under dbus
has worked for quite some time now. I have not encountered any other tasks that would require dbus-x11
over dbus
.
Ideally, dbus-x11
(version 1.14.4-1) would be automatically replaced with dbus
with manjaro-system
to reduce manual required intervention for the update. Anyone wanting to keep the package from the AUR would install version 1.15.0-2 and would not be affected afterward.
Yes (you can search for “dbus” in the pkgs text file). Official ISOs offered by the manjaro site prior to 21.2.1 (released 2022-01-03) came with dbus-x11
instead of dbus
.
Unless you are implying that it was included more recently than that by default, which would be even more reason to automate the transition.
Appreciated
We provided nocsd once. However the XFCE Classic project only updated to 4.17.0 so far. I pushed now that package to our extra repos, however I don’t know if that project is still active or not. I opened an issue: libxfce4ui 4.18.0 released · Issue #15 · Xfce-Classic/libxfce4ui-nocsd · GitHub If there is no response in a timely manner we consider to drop the package from our repos. Just let me know if 4.17.0 fixes your panel issue or if it is still there.
