[xubuntu-users] Upgrate to xfce 4.4.1

[Ben Edwards]

I think you may be suffering from the UPGRADE ADDICTION, ime afraid
proprietary software marketing has caused this in many people.

The .1 in 4.4.1 is a sub-sub version and at that level is probably
just to do with bug fixes.  However the xubuntu team have done extra
testing so in xubuntus 4.4.0 may be more stable than vanilla 4.4.1.

One of the reasons to use a distribution rather than build everything
from scratch is so you don't have to worry about such things.

Upgrading for upgradings sake it a bad idea.  If you are having
problems that are fixed by the new version or there are new features
you need (or want) upgrade otherwise (unless the version is no longer
supported) its a waste of time. It may well break stuff and cause a
lot of messing around.
