Hi all,

We all know that xftree needs to be replaced. And it's going to be in
fact... with ROX-filer

I talked to Thomas, who is the lead developper of the ROX-filer project,
and we are both glad to announce that Xfce is going to use ROX as its
primary file manager very soon (hopefully, if I can find some time to
merge some part of ROX filer with libxfcecore to avoid duplication of code)

I hope this will give more exposure to ROX and Xfce will have a new (and
great) file manager. ROX and Xfce have a lot in common, in fact : Both
try to implement a lighter desktop, both use GTK+ as gfx lib, and both
need more exposure...

Thomas has made a similar announcement on ROX lists (and I'm now
subscribed to both users and dev lists for ROX)

Sounds cool, huh !

Cheers,
Olivier.
