Andreas, please take your rants somewhere else. This is not a discussion forum on how bad X or Y is, nor is it a place to dump grief. I know for a fact that the Xfce team is extremely responsive to bugreports of substance, and have worked closely with them to improve things where possible. If you have a problem with a certain application, please feel free to drop a line on this forum, but also report it to the maintainers of that application. Try 'bugzilla.xfce.org'. I know for a fact that the Xfce4 team would seriously look into the issue you describe above here.
