TUN acts as an agent for existing agreements, HTTP proxy HTTPS proxy SOCKS proxy
Use TUN mode to proxy all traffic throughout the system, including terminals
### Why this request?
I’m in a country where the internet is very blocked, and upgrading OS or downloading software is a hassle, github gitlab Ping over time 300ms.
In thousands of Linux and BSD distributions, there is no single system desktop environment that proxies all traffic,
I use a proxychains and it’s a terrible proxy for the terminal, very slow.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/812errors when building from master branch2024-02-01T20:03:43Zcallmejoeerrors when building from master branchhello. trying to build to use panel on wayfire. runnning ./autogen.sh I get these errors at the end

This started happening after updating many components of xfce4 simultaneously. Maybe the new versions are mis-interpreting the old config files? I don't really know.

I've tried deleting the config file and then restarting, because I thought it may regenerate (as suggested by this thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/xfce4-where-does-the-config-file-live-4175646844/). But that didn't happen; In fact, nothing changed after deleting it. The error persisted, but I restored a copy of the file anyway.
Any help would be apreciated ( ´・・)ノ

Thanks for fixing.
After posting, I realised that in Terminal the command date, returns the date with a 3min lag. So it seems to be a system issue.
Example:
**Google search returns**
`10:05
jeudi 14 septembre 2023 (UTC+2)`
**While in Terminal**:
`$date
jeu 14 sep 2023 10:01:57 CEST`

- Two outputs (monitors) enabled, stacked on top of each other: Top=1920x1080, bottom=2560x1600
- Horizontal panel on top edge of screen
- Output = Automatic
The panel will use the width of the widest monitor, i.e. 2560px. But it will be displayed on the top monitor which only has 1920px. So the sides of the panel will be cut off.
Manually reducing the width of the panel to 1920 doesn't work, because it will still be left-aligned. Setting the top monitor as Primary and setting Output=Primary works around this bug, but this is not always desireable.

Looking at btop or htop, the genmon plugins seem to be using about 31 MB of RAM each. This is irrespective of the script they have, I even made a new panel and added a brand new one and it still used 31MB of RAM.
Some of the other plugins are also using a lot of RAM. I've included a screenshot of btop.
I'm on Arch Linux with Xfce4-4.18, with latest arch packages for everything
![btop](https://imgur.com/a/S1CnaYC)
I had a look at one of the genmon plugins with pmap, and there was a lot of memory being used up by things marked "anon". I'm not knowledgeable on this at all so I'm not sure if that's of note. If there is any more information I can provide which would be helpful let me know.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/760panel as desktop bar only, and maximize windows2023-07-03T15:04:42Zitt533panel as desktop bar only, and maximize windowswhen an horizontal panel is changed as "desktop bar" and there is no extra panel, maximizing a window is keeping a space where the panel was when it was horizontal.

Up until 4.18, that worked fine, exactly as I wanted. The oldest window was at the bottom, making it easy to select. I rely on this to find my most commonly used browser windows, new windows tend to be transient while the ones I use the most stick around and end up at the bottom of the list.
When I upgraded to 4.18 in January, the oldest window moved to the top of the list, i.e. the sort order was reversed. An annoying change, but I got used to it quickly enough.
Today, after upgrading to 4.18.2, the oldest window moved back to the bottom of the list. OK, fine, I can get used to that again (in fact, I prefer it - although, really, there ought to be an option for Ascending vs Descending sort for the timestamp. And probably for the title too).
So far, so good.
The problem is that any new windows are placed below the oldest window - so the more new windows I open, the harder it is to find that oldest window. It may as well be random. It's certainly not ordered by timestamp.
This is probably a leftover from when the list was sorted with oldest at the top - it makes sense to add new windows to the bottom in that case. When sorted with oldest at the bottom, though, new windows should be added to the top.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/725External plugins unavailable, 4.18 & 4.192023-03-29T22:09:29ZSimon DedmanExternal plugins unavailable, 4.18 & 4.19After upgrading to 4.18 and now 4.19 due to [this](https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/151), no [external plugins](https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/start) are available in Items > Add New Items.

[Ostensibly](https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/add-new-items) these may need to be installed separately (see last line) but there's no info on how to do that (if indeed I need to do so, vs this being a bug). They're definitely not included as folders in the [build](https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/tree/master/plugins), and there [doesn't appear to be](https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce) a separate xfce4-panel-plugins.
Any guidance appreciated. Per the other thread, my panel is now missing various background-running application icons e.g. audio control, bluetooth, Dropbox, NAS version of dropbox, redshift icon, psensors & memory sensor, network manager, possibly others.

In my particular case, Mailwatch complains until it can connect to the mail server, because the "server" is another application (Protonmail Bridge) that takes a while to start. I'd rather delay the module's startup than pollute Mailwatch's log with spurious alerts.
I see /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/mailwatch.desktop, but there is no way to invoke bash with a sleep command in it, because mailwatch is a library file, not a command.

With the patch below it builds fine:

I have not investigated to ascertain if the above patch is sensible or if there is something in xfce4-dev-tools that should be changed (or indeed on the Arch Linux AUR side).
Happy to submit an MR for this fix if it is deemed a sensible one.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/671Compiling xfce4-panel-4.18.0 want old libwnck libary (3.0)2022-12-20T08:18:04ZOlaf DreßlerCompiling xfce4-panel-4.18.0 want old libwnck libary (3.0)When compiling the package xfce4-panel-4.18.0 - more precisely: when running ./configure - the message is displayed:

Why is an old library needed?
And how can I solve this?
