I don't think anyone's disputing that Xfce needs outside applications to make a usable desktop. What we're questioning is the current selection of said apps. > > Xfce-based adaption of Ubuntu?

Not exactly a diplomatic way to handle honest questions from a user of a distro you contribute to, Mr. Monoses. You seem to exhibit a certain distaste for Xfce, which is why I can't understand why you're working on a distro that's supposed to be Xfce-focused. If you're going to respond with little more than petty flames, then I can see no reason to continue attempting to get a satisfactory explanation from you. I hope the other Xubuntu devs work this out and come to a conclusion as to what Xubuntu's goals and target userbase should be. G
