[manjaro-dev] libxfce4ui gtk3

[Rob McCathie]

Considering that would have meant the 'Net' install would have
required GTK3, I think it's a good change ;-)

My repo just updated and i'm running your new packages now. So far
everything seems fine, All Xfce components and software I have
installed are working, gtk3 remains un-installed. (same for Qt4/5, and
hence it also means no manjaro-settings-manager installed ;-\)

My Laptop installed with Net edition with only SLiM, Xfce and wicd
(with NetworkManager removed), logged into the desktop with all Xfce4
components and wicd-gtk2 applet running has a memory footprint of only
106MB, and boots & launches all it's common apps insanely fast.
