it just works) let me know.

as much as I like the splash screen it is not xubuntus business to patch it.
People may run it in gnome/kde and it should not say xubuntu. Besides this
is to be taken up with gimp package in ubuntu, we cannot touch apps which
are not xfce
in a way that affects other environments or what the users expect.

Ubuntu is using it? Where is it packaged? If not yet, we'll wait till they
