+
+  Xfce 4.6 includes multiple changements which are not directly visible by
+  the user but may disturb her nevertheless.
+  .
+  Settings management have been move from the old MCS Manager to the xfconf
+  system. User settings will be migrated automatically at first Xfce 4.6 
+  startup using the /usr/lib/xfce4/xfconf-migration/xfconf-migration-4.6.pl
+  script contained in xfce4-utils settings. Once those settings have been
+  migrated, the automatic run will be disabled but the script will stay
+  (for future users).
+  .
+  Menus are now managed using a dedicated library, used by various Xfce
+  components (including xfdesktop4 and the menu panel plugin). This library
+  intents to support the freedesktop.org specifications, but is not totally
+  completes and thus lack the support for some items, like the <Merge> one.
+  This renders useless the menu editor previously shipped with Xfce 4.4.
+  Solutions for menu editing can be found at the following address:
+  http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
+  .
+  As the upgrade is pretty invasive, it is recommended to quit Xfce before
+  doing so, but it's not required and upgrades have been made from the
+  desktop environment without problrems. In that case, be sure to quit Xfce
+  not long after the upgrade.
