Sorry, but I don't understand the need for this repository. XFCE is already in common use to provide a more traditional windowing desktop for the XO. Its use is covered on the Wiki "http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xfce";. XFCE seems to be a good fit for the XO, full featured enough to support most traditional applications, conventional enough to suit the desire for a non-Sugar solution, and light enough to install easily. Gnome or KDE seem like too much, and the other lightweight environments look a little strange to me. The XFCE page suffers from some poor editing, competing solutions, and a failure of the instructions to keep up with changes on the XO, but that would seem to be able to be handled there.
