I've elaborated on the signigicant advantages of g-s-s before, and I think
they far outweight a marginal case as this. Realistically, how many people
have xfwm4 compositing enabled? It's not like it's that much lighter than
Compiz, while it's far less feature rich. It might be more stable but most
people enabling compositing are willing to compromise stability for
features.

Also, what kind of security is this you're talking about? Can a malicious
hacker connect to your computer over the internet and steal all your
documents or make your computer crash? Can other users physically take the
computer and log in to your account without using your password?

Personally (though I think many will agree with me), I find a double
confirmation window *far* less annoying then not being able to unmount my
stuff at all due to permissions issues.

I don't see how it integrates better, but in any case, gnome-system-monitor
has a lot of advantages. As I've mentioned before, just listing Xubuntu's
version in the System tab is a huge benefit when trying to help people. Next
to that, the Resources tab also provides useful information that you'd have
to miss in xfce4-taskmanager.

And I forgot to mention it, but also a +1 for weighing the pros and cons
from me. Please, I think I've clearly outlined what I think are the benefits
of said applications, if you could consider those and see if the cons really
outweigh these pros then say so.

Best,
