Pushed!

During my tests, I find some issues though:

1. in xfce4-appearance-settings, switch the theme to greybird-dark will
kill it, with output:
```
(xfce4-appearance-settings:13788): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:53:21.078: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/check-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

(xfce4-appearance-settings:13788): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 10:53:23.264: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' does not contain a key named 'color-scheme'
```
I think this is due to our gsettings-desktop-schemas is old.

2. some icons are missing, and by default there is no pixbuf loader for
svg.  With a manually set GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE, I get better result
with elementary-xfce-icon-theme (the adwaita icon themes still missing
some icons).

3. logout via xfce4-session-logout will wait more about 30s for me,
sometimes it does logout immediately, no idea...

4. mousepad output:
Mousepad-Message: 11:00:34.614: Plugin directory '/gnu/store/0m4rqqn3gxwg6mafhccqjwwvqdz1a5sr-mousepad-0.5.10/lib/mousepad/plugins' not found
GLib-GIO-Message: 11:00:34.614: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

The default gsettings backend is dconf, I guess some applications like
mousepad need fix to enable dconf or use the keyfile backend for
gsettings...

I now open a bug for thoes issues.

5. Thunar start slowly

When I update to xfce 4.18, thunar start need 5 second, when I

1. backup my xfce4 config.
2. rm my old xfce4 config.
3. run xfce4 and quit.
4. restore old xfce4 config.
5. run xfce4 again.

The problem dispear, I do not know why.

Except gsettings for mousepad, which i now set
`GSETTINGS_BACKEND=keyfile` myself, the issues seems all fixed now.
Closing..
