The "bolt from the blue" was effectively the 3 => 4 transition, when they stopped trying to be like CDE. This was a deep disappointment to some of us who used it because it was like CDE. Deeply uncool, I realize, but it still means that there is no CDE on Linux.

Yes, I was hit by the 3-to-4 transition and even lamented on the mailing list. Fortunately, later releases of 4.x rendered most of my gripes moot as missing features were added or removed options re-enabled. The XFCE developers were (and are) pretty good at listening to their user's wishes.

The thing I miss about Xfce 3 was that it didn't open its root-window menu under the mouse pointer, but right next to it, so I could toggle the menu without moving the mouse if I changed my mind or opened the menu by mistake. A small thing, but quite nice once I came to expect it.
