hm, replying to my own mail again..<br><br>i just checked out mousepad and terminal. they're both quite nice<br>actually. since this is supposed to be an XFCE-centric distro, and<br>not just a "my favorite apps" distro, and since these were written
<br>specifically for xfce, maybe we should include and default to them<br>both.<br><br>Am I right in assuming that the point here is mostly to show off the<br>capabilities of XFCE, rather than just providing a nice collection of
<br>tools? Because of course users who know of other software can just<br>kick up synaptic and install whatever they want anyways. What we're<br>really discussing here is the *defaults*, and which packages to<br>include on the live cd. Right? So I suppose they should be mostly
<br>xfce-related..</blockquote><div><br>
</div><br></div>Yes they should be xfce-related <br>
But the point is not showing off xfce in detriment of a nice collection
of tools, if we find something more appropriate for
editor/terimal/media than the current ones we should use those. But
since the former were written by xfce developers I assume we will
hardly find better ones.<br>
I used to use multi-gnome-terminal which is a gtk1.2 gnome1 app
and seems light enough, so if it turns out to be lighter than
xfce4-terminal it would be ok.<br>
But the terminal app is the least controversial since thos who use the cmd line can easily chose their preferred one.<br>
