This is getting ridiculous. If you think Xfce is so bad that it has to be
patched up with various bits of GNOME, why are you even working on an
Xfce-based adaption of Ubuntu? If you think the Xfce devs are lazy about
fixing bugs and putting out new releases, why are you not working for GNOME
instead?

Xfce has far fewer developers and users than GNOME does. They can't possibly
respond to bugs and user requests at the same rate the GNOME devs do. If you
dislike this, move to GNOME.

I'm curious as to why you have any interest in Xfce at all, at this point.
