Hi Guillaume,
Thanks for reading it over and commenting.
I dropped the sugar list and moved this to devel. If someone (Tomeu?)

Ok, so my point is this:
If this is the quickest / simplest / best way to get a XFCE system as
tightly integrated to the XO, then this should be in a very visible
place and spread around. As much as I love sugar, I'd vehemently prefer
to have XFCE + GNU than Sugar + Windows.
