I trid to figure out by looking at the logs, but since I am not a builder, I am not getting why for a week? now there has not been a successful Xfce build.
I am sure people are working on it, and I have other things to keep me busy with. So if there is no new Xfce to work with, I will wait.
But I am more interested in why the USB disconnects on my Cubietruck requiring a poweroff.

It's a known issue due to the Xorg rebase affecting all desktops, it's been discussed on the main devel@ list.

That's clear by the dozens of bloody emails you send about it. Sorry but we don't have full time kernel developers sitting around just to fix all your issues with USB. If it was an easy fix believe me I would have fixed it but it's not and the part time kernel ARM people are stretched very thin. Once it's fixed upstream the fix will land in Fedora.... until then we know it's an issue but then I've got 100s of other kernel issues all vying for my time. Maybe you could find the last kernel where it worked and the "git bisect" the issue if it's so important.

Until know I had no way of measuring the likelyhood of this problem being addressed.
Now I know that it will be a while; OK, I can live with that, as I DO know that there are lots of things to find and fix. And I can not assist in the fixing, only the finding.
I could not test the USB until Rawhide got the uboot and kernel that supported the Allwinner video. So I would not be supprised if it never worked right, as I started pretty much after that was done. I will have to go back in the emails to see what day you and Hans discussed moving to the newer uboot and see if the USB worked back then.
Though one test I have not made is a USB drive. I used them back in the F21 beta, but I never left one in long enough for any timeout testing. And all my work back then was with Minimal as no video support.
I will download minimal and do a USB drive test later today.

Well a non response, or nothing like "it should fixed as of build X" generally means no change. If you don't get a response from busy people the general way not to get a response is to keep sending essentially the same message of "USB NOT WORKING" because before long it's like the boy who cried wolf.... no matter how useful the information you provide it gets ignored due to the rest of the noise.

If it works for a bit and then stops you might like to see if there's a means of disabling usb suspend or suspend in general. Not sure how to do this, modinfo from the kernel module side will be your friend, and google for the general option.

Well it worked for me for things plugged into usb like a 802.15.4 adapter with F-21 but all my devices are long running F-22.

Well the kernel is the same across all images so I suspect the results will be the same. A USB storage device mounted might now allow the driver/usb/something sleep though.
