+<title>Upgrading from 4.2 to 4.4</title>
+<body>
+
+<p>
+Upgrading from Xfce 4.2 to 4.4 isn't hard, but neither is it as simple as most
+upgrades. With the release of 4.4, many older packages are either deprecated, or
+their functionality has been included into the desktop in some other manner.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+First, update your Portage tree (<c>emerge --sync</c>), then see what Xfce
+updates are available (<c>emerge -pvtuD world</c>).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You'll notice that there will be a list of packages that block upgrading, as
+most 4.2 packages cannot coexist with 4.4 packages. Here, the solution is pretty
+straightforward: just unmerge the blocking packages, as described in the <uri
+link="/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&amp;chap=1">Portage
+Handbook</uri> and <c>man emerge</c>, then continue with the update.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Next, you may need to rebuild certain packages, such as applications linked
+against <c>dbus</c>. You'll need to first install <c>gentoolkit</c> for this.
+Then, once <c>gentoolkit</c> is installed, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Rebuilding packages">
+# <i>revdep-rebuild -p</i>
+<comment>(If you see any output about broken packages, run this next command)</comment>
+# <i>revdep-rebuild</i>

+
+<note>
+For more information, please read <c>man revdep-rebuild</c> and our <uri
+link="/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml">Gentoolkit Guide</uri>.
+</note>
+
+<p>
+Once the rebuild has finished, run <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> again, just to make
+sure you have a clean and consistent world. If anything still shows up, keep
+repeating <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> and <c>revdep-rebuild</c> until there's no
+more output about broken packages. Most Xfce update problems stem from
+<c>dbus</c> issues, as Xfce uses <c>dbus</c> quite extensively.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Next, restart <c>dbus</c> and/or <c>hal</c>.
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Restarting dbus and hal">

+Make sure you familiarize yourself with all the new options available in the new

+</p>
+

-<body>
-
-<p>
-Upgrading from Xfce 4.2 to 4.4 isn't hard, but neither is it as simple as most
-upgrades. With the release of 4.4, many older packages are either deprecated, or
-their functionality has been included into the desktop in some other manner.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-First, update your Portage tree (<c>emerge --sync</c>), then see what Xfce
-updates are available (<c>emerge -pvtuD world</c>).
-</p>
-
-<p>
-You'll notice that there will be a list of packages that block upgrading, as
-most 4.2 packages cannot coexist with 4.4 packages. Here, the solution is pretty
-straightforward: just unmerge the blocking packages, as described in the <uri
-link="/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&amp;chap=1">Portage
-Handbook</uri> and <c>man emerge</c>, then continue with the update.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Next, you may need to rebuild certain packages, such as applications linked
-against <c>dbus</c>. You'll need to first install <c>gentoolkit</c> for this.
-Then, once <c>gentoolkit</c> is installed, run:
-</p>
-
-<pre caption="Rebuilding packages">
-# <i>revdep-rebuild -p</i>
-<comment>(If you see any output about broken packages, run this next command)</comment>
-# <i>revdep-rebuild</i>
-</pre>
-
-<note>
-For more information, please read <c>man revdep-rebuild</c> and our <uri
-link="/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml">Gentoolkit Guide</uri>.
-</note>
-
-<p>
-Once the rebuild has finished, run <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> again, just to make
-sure you have a clean and consistent world. If anything still shows up, keep
-repeating <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> and <c>revdep-rebuild</c> until there's no
-more output about broken packages. Most Xfce update problems stem from
-<c>dbus</c> issues, as Xfce uses <c>dbus</c> quite extensively.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Next, restart <c>dbus</c> and/or <c>hal</c>.
-</p>
-
-<pre caption="Restarting dbus and hal">
-# <i>/etc/init.d/dbus restart</i>
-# <i>/etc/init.d/hald restart</i>
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Finally, give yourself a fresh environment.
-</p>
-
-<pre caption="Updating the environment variables">
-# <i>env-update &amp;&amp; source /etc/profile</i>
-</pre>

-<title>Settings</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-Make sure you familiarize yourself with all the new options available in the new
-Settings Manager. Of interest are the options in the Desktop screen; Xfce can
-now manage your desktop and place icons on it.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-There's also a Window Manager Tweaks screen, in which you can adjust the
-behavior of windows, workspaces, and transparency (if enabled). Xfce 4.4 has
-slightly changed the default behavior of workspaces and active window focus. If
-you find that clicking a hyperlink in one workspace switches your browser to
-that workspace from another one (or similar annoying window focus behavior), try
-Settings --> Window Manager Tweaks --> Focus --> Activate Focus Stealing
-Prevention.
