How to Update Xfce 4.12 in Linux Mint 17
Xfce is most popular desktop in linux mint. I am installed this version, linux mint with xfce desktop, linux mint version 17.

And today, xfce desktop has been release new version. You can update your xfce to version 4.12, which this version comes with many feature and bug fixed.

Feature xfce 4.12
  1. The intelligent panel hiding feature has been implemented.
  2. Windows preview in alt+tab (Compositor need to be enabled too).
  3. Better monitor and multi monitor support
  4. Xfce’s Thunar file manager finally supports tabs.
  5. Thunar now also has support for multiple file properties, support for binary file size units, inverting the selection, improves volume / remote location handling, and improvements to the shortcuts side pane.
  6. The xfwm4 window manager has smart placement optimizations for determining the best area to place a new window where it’s least covered on the screen. Xfwm4 also now supports aligning windows next to each other rather than using random gaps.
