Hi,
I think you're jumping the gun prematurely. Parole built fine (0.8.0),
out of the non core apps I tried only pragha and ristretto failed due
to missing deps.

Parole was ported to GTK+3 a while ago. We're currently porting the
rest, and clearly people will have to choose *one* core Xfce (either
4.12/gtk2 or 4.14/gtk3). However as far as non-core apps like Parole
go, you should in theory be able to use another version.
If for a reason you can't ship the GTK+3 version now, but are happy
to use a GTK+2 version, this is fine for us. There might be a reason
why it doesn't compile anymore, e.g. some change we made in
libxfce4ui/util (though I think it should work just fine). In that
case, we might be able to help you write a distro-patch that makes it
build for this specific architecture and distro. I don't think we
want any more gtk2/gtk3 ifdefs in the code base (I'm specially
stressing this out as I'm speaking about code that *other people* are
maintaining, not me! :-) ) but our goal is to help everyone run our
apps, so if you're getting stuck somewhere, do chat with us.
Cheers,
