True, but I started the discussion before in another thread.

First post to this list on Jan 31th subject gnome apps.
Reread that thread and see how rude and misplaced your answers were to 
my polite and valid question.

On Feb 5 , after 5 days, I modified the seed because you and Lionel did 
not answer my questions and posted to the list about it, and that 
finally triggered some more discussions.

So 5 days: no LOL.

You are wrong again. As you and Lionel were wrong accusing me about 
doing the same thing you did in 7.10. Then I fought in pointless 
flamewars coming up with technical arguments while you kept on the 
emotional side and saying this is the beginning and everything will be 
GNOME and there is no point in making Xubuntu anymore.
Because you or anyone else had no valid arguments, I made the changes.

Totally unlike what you did, so please never again claim this especially 
since the list archives prove you wrong.

I did not argue against Xfce. Do not confuse Xfce core which I never 
questioned with anything other that happens to be under the Xfce umbrella.

Being an Xfce project is little more than having a subdomain or links 
from the Xfce site. Those apps do not pass any kind of scrutiny and are 
far below the quality of Xfce core.

So again, stop mixing the two things because you unintentionally confuse 
others not familiar with the subject.

Xfce core is good. Most other Xfce apps, not so good.
And as you said, no need duplicating what is done in Ubuntu. That is why 
I want to reuse those apps, not include their pointless duplications 
which are less mature, and cause extra maintenance.

No, it's not because of that.
