xfce-4.14.2 updates from MX 19 test repo (now in main)

[BV206]

I was hoping they updated the xfce compositor but it still won't work with my grahpics:

I have to use compton or no compositor.

Installed fine, no issues detected yet.

Thunar bug "Scrolling context menu" unfortunately still there

That's an Xfce 6.14 issue, lack of a responsive right-click action menu in Thunar. You get the same behavior in Xubuntu 19.10.

Edit: it may be a GTK3 theme issue though, rather than a Thunar issue. I don't know.

FYI I've been using it since yesterday morning and there were no show-stoppers or odd behavior all day and evening long.

Quick System Info also now reports XFCE 4.14.2. I'll have Tim move the packages to main, since they seem cromulent.

Learned a new word, cromulent. I did not know you were a linguistic polymath.

[Stevo]

A certain science podcast I subscribe to, the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe, uses the word in every so often in a humorous fashion, along with "embiggen" and "quatloos."

I'd have to turn in my nerd badge if I didn't know what those meant.

Old Man Coyote (in the photo, Old Woman Coyote, though gender-shifting was also one of their powers, just like Bugs Bunny) was a shapeshifter, according to Native American lore.

So far, the little coyote pack that knows me hasn't lost any members for over a year, though the male was scarce for the past week, and just showed back up with a limp. I noticed the two females carrying off food and returning 5-10 minutes later, so they could have been helping him to get through an injury.

This wildlife cam video was on social media a week or so ago--apparently coyotes can be happy to join forces with badgers,though the male in the pack goes after any raccoons that he spots--the females are more live and let live with the trash pandas, AFAICT.
