Xubuntu is ubuntu because it takes advantage of the kernel, udev..
work, the restricted manager, the community, the repos with very
updated stuff.

BUT what's the point in putting the same applications as in Ubuntu ?
It's only duplicting stuff, and is totally useless. It would be better
to contribute directly to Ubuntu in that case.

What's the point in putting things like gnome-mount, gnome-system
monitor, gnome-screensaver when we can promote the xfce applications
instead.

Ghostvirus:

For me and for most people I know, except the ones I see in that
mailing list, Xubuntu is a distro that takes advantage of Ubuntu to
provide a desktop based on *XFCE*. Like Kubuntu does, Ubuntu with KDE.
Unfortunately the user friendly goal of Ubuntu was converted in "let's
ship gnome applications" instead of "let's impove xfce".
