News for users of the desktop environment XFCE:
xfce4-taskmanager 1.2.0
This is a new release which brings a handy feature, i.e. identifying windows by clicking on them. Just use the crosshair-button in the toolbar and click on a window. This will result in the appropriate/associated process being selected in the tree or listview.

xfce4-notifyd 0.3.5This long-awaited feature release finally brings the persistence support I have been working on for a while. So you can now enable a notification log and get your "away log" easily this way. There are even some options to only get the log for certain apps or only with "do not disturb" mode enabled.

Thunar 1.6.11This maintenance release brings some important fixes that have made users complain a lot in the recent past – and understandably so. Thunar was fairly unstable with copy, rename, move and drag-and-drop operations and would simply crash. While a lot of people in the community did testing (and whining :)), several folks got to work, identified the underlying issue and submitted patches (that I pushed recently).

Same experience here.
16.04 crashes when drag/dropping files from the Desktop to a folder.
Not that it's xfce, but it also hangs on shutdown some of the time forcing a hard stop.
