+Subject: [PATCH] build: Add missing libxfce4util flags
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This will be necessary when xfwm4 is built against a meson release of
+libxfce4ui, which sets private flags by default in pkgconfig (and
+therefore no longer exposes libxfce4util flags).
+

+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/commit/6468f80ee9283c03fc18f67361b20c6efdf3df50]
