I'm the one in the Xfce team that usually handles the stabilization so
let me know if there are any issues or you want help with something.
The next release (4.13 or 4.14) of Xfce stuff is going to be fully
migrated to gtk3. The current stuff needs both gtk2 and 3. If you want
you can hold off a while and then do only gtk3 so you dont have to do
gtk2.

sparc also needs ConsoleKit2 keyworded and stabilized together with xfce
when you get around to it.
