[Xavier Otazu]

        ... and a reason why Jeff should return to maintain XFC:

        They complian about the overhead that virtual methods introduce
into gtkmm class hierarchy. Jeff solved it in XFC.

        ... what a pity if XFC is abandoned ... :-(

It would be a pity in more ways than one.

I hope Jeff is okay. He wouldn't be the first developer to take a long
break, if that's what it came to, and if it's more dire, I'm rooting
for him, whatever the trouble

Interesting link.

I'm expecting lots of great things to be done based on XFC,
starting with XFC-4.4 and stable packages of it for most distributions.
XFC and Jeff diserve a lot of success!

Will Jeff come back to continue XFC as leader,
or will he choose to contribute as expert developer?

Of course Jeff is free to do what he wants. At least I wish he could
give us a hint about his intentions...
But for the moment he's simply not around. :-(

Best Regards,
Sylvain.
