Thanks Jim,

Beside the fact that its an interesting strategy to use the 4.6
release for a full desktop release in the aspect of risk and quality
management. How does the Debian xfce team stand by the packaging of
the 4.6 release candidates?

For testing, I would like to see the following tested:

- the new xfconf settings, try changing all settings
- all features of the desktop panel
- all features of the window manager
- the artwork on multiple resolutions very low to very high
- stability of thunar

Thanks in advance,

Jelle
