Proposal for additional pre-installed apps

[Mario Rugiero]

Hi.
I think a more detailed rationale should be written.
Just a vague "being useful" argument is not enough IMO, since most
applications on the
repositories are, by definition, useful, and AFAIK one of the aims of
Xubuntu is being
lite, while at the same time easy and intuitive, so adding things to
the default install
should be done with care.
Just my 2 cents.
