Welcome XFCE 4.16 to the FreeBSD ports tree!

Upstream announce: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1608595200

This XFCE release dropped support for GTK2 plugins and also dropped
GTK2 from all components.

WARNING: please check UPDATING before upgrading your packages. In
case of problems also read the libexo pkg-message.

Due to this some panel plugins and libraries will be removed since
they cannot compile anymore:

- print/xfce4-print
- x11/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin
- x11/xfce4-wmdock-plugin
- x11-toolkits/libxfce4gui

These further components also fail to build or work and are being
marked BROKEN, deprecated and marked for removal:

- science/xfce4-equake-plugin
- x11/xfce4-embed-plugin
- deskutils/orage
- deskutils/xfce4-volumed [1]

deskutils/xfce4-notes-plugin will be also marked BROKEN, but there
is active development in it's upstream repository and a fixed release
is expected soon.

deskutils/xfce4-generic-slider will also be marked broken, since
it fails to compile. [2]

Thanks also to riggs, Olivier Duchateau <duchateau.olivier@gmail.com>

+
+  XFCE4 has been updated to version 4.16. Unluckily due to how the
+  update works out it interacts badly with a defect in pkg which can
+  cause files from the libexo package to be absent after upgrade.
+
+  To avoid the issue, before upgrading all packages, please update
+  libexo by itself:
+
+  # pkg upgrade libexo
+  # pkg upgrade
+
+  If you have already upgraded and you notice XFCE issues due to
+  missing libraries you can recover easily by forcing reinstallation
+  of libexo:
+
+  # pkg upgrade -f libexo
+
+  Users upgrading via ports should not be affected.
