Now that I have read more on the issue I feel that Dapper shouldn't be touched until Xfce4.4 is released as stable and once it is, compile a version for dapper and one for edgy, package them and place them in their respective repositories because that way neither is still running a Beta/RC. I understand "don't fix what isn't broken", but I think that applies to finished projects and while Xfce4.4 is usable in its current state I am certain it will be rock solid once their dev team releases it as stable. Just a thought.

Otherwise, if you start putting newer versions of XFCE in 6.06, which by
this groups own admission are not as fully tested as they could be
(because of lack of time and support), you run the risk of a) breaking
something else and b) potentially having to support multiple versions of
Xubuntu 6.06.

I agree with all you have said. I'd rather keep working on feisty only with no updates to edgy/dapper
and leave that to the backports team. There are no critical (data loss or security) bugs in xubuntu
dapper or edgy and only those are supposed to get into updates even if for ubuntu dapper this rule is
not strictly observed. There are annoying crashers which get fixed as well and maybe others.
OTOH I can feel that being left with a version which could be made better with a few well chosen updates
is not ideal either. It's hard to define what is truly serios/annoying problem and what isn't. If we look at complaints
and bug reports besides the menu being lost in early dapper there was no other bug which deserved an update IMO.
