It would be nice if such a "list of tweaks" existed someplace (perhaps in the wiki). For example, I'm currently running Firefox 4.07b on my XOs. Now that you've explained that Firefox can benefit from having totem be the helper application for video playback -- I can myself apply that change to the Firefox version I installed. Without knowing that this tweak is useful, I would not have considered adding totem.
