With some energy regained, I found that only the last test is hanging,
so I added a hack to disable only that one.

Yes, could very well be the case.

They extracted the .desktop files and a python script
("xfce4-compose-mail", see below) from the xfce4-settings package:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/xfce4-helpers and after looking more
closely, I don't think it's useful.


Please find an updated version of the patch.

Changes to the previous version:
- Disable one test in xfconf, not all.
- Removed hack to make xfce4-xkb-plugin compile, because upstream made a
release, see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45420
- Add python input to xfce4-settings to fix "xfce4-compose-mail" script.
