xfce depends on gtk2. when gnome3 hits the repo, i assume gtk3 will
deprecate gtk2, which will in turn deprecate xfce. it is possible to
maintain gtk2 and gtk3 at the same time, but using a desktop
environment depending on a deprecated library seems not so good.
anyway, we are still using tons of applications depending on the
deprecated python2. :p
