This is true when Sugar is the primary interface of the target user 
population.  But the "Subject" of this topic is XFCE.  I am going to 
make the assumption that an user sophisticated enough to use XFCE 
will be sophisticated enough not to need the simplified GUI that 
sugarization provides.

I myself have had reasonable success installing Linux applications 
on my XO, then launching them from the command line.  [And launching 
from Terminal bypasses Rainbow's restrictions on applications.]

I keep wondering, considering Moore's Law and the availability of 
netbooks, why shoehorn specifically Sugar (and the XO) into 
competing for the "traditional_Linux_interface" laptop role ?
