Does 4.6.2 to 4.8 require a migrartion script?

With the dark shadow of GNOME "Shell" looming over my work flow, I fled back to Xfce. Which I had used before as 4.4. I found my desktop settings kept reverting to what I had used before (I keep my /home partition with all its old furniture). Someone on the Debian forums kindly told me to run the migration script and all is well.

Will a similar script need o be run when 4.8 finally reaches Debian testing?

In xfce-utils, there's a Perl script (I didn't used it, when I migrated to 4.8 my FreeBSD box). Xfce config files are placed in ~/.config repository.

Yes, that's the one I used. But you didn't need to use it, oliverd?
