Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to install the updates to xfce which were ported over to

this one.

exo-utils
Recommends: dbus-x11, librsvg2-common, xdg-user-dirs, xfce4-utils
Suggests: menu
Replaces: xfdesktop4-data (< 4.5.92)
Description: xfce desktop background, icons and root menu manager
xfdesktop4 sets the background image, provides a right-click menu to
launch applications and can optionally show files (including
application launchers) or iconified windows. It includes gradient
support for background color, saturation support for background image,
real multiscreen and xinerama support.
Homepage: http://www.xfce.org/

As can be seen xfce4-utils is in the recommends, so it would be good
if either xfce4-utils can be upgraded to 4.10 if upstream has it or
drop it so xfdesktop4 can be installed.

Looking forward for feedback.
