This may just be me, but... is a spreadsheet application necessary? I know that it is a thing usually included, but... how many people use it on a day-to-day basis? On a netbook? Is it not a remnant of the mindset that an office suite is text, spreadsheet and presentation? Also, I am unsure whether this is a good idea, but I find that Arora - the QT cousin of Midori - has some features making it more interesting. It allows for saving passwords, which Midori does not, and it has a nice download manager. Of course, if it is the only app using QT, it will bring a somewhat heavy load. Should you consider including a "Recommended for purposes not covered here" document linking to other lightweight applications like they have on the Xfce wiki: http://wiki.xfce.org/recommendedapps - where, by the way, there are also interesting suggestions, which I all use: * Ktsuss: A small application which works like gksu/kdesu for making run-as-root dialogs. * SLiM: The small login manager. * Uget: A nice lightweight download manager. * Catfish: A search application by the same programmer as Midori, but less actively developed.
