Hello,<br><br>looks like quite a few GNOME programs use GnomeVFS but not the rest<br>of GNOME libs like bonobo, libgnomeui, libgnome.<br><br>For instance evince-gtk is no longer our patched version but an upstream<br>variant that left GVfs deps.
<br><br>I am considering allowing GNOME apps that depend on GVfs only into the default<br>xubuntu install. It would allow us to reuse more of GNOME/Ubuntu and not divert<br>our efforts on maintaining separate apps.<br><br>
What about adding gnome-nettool (GTK only) and gnome-system-monitor (uses GtkMM and<br>GnomeVFS) to Xubuntu? The latter would replace xfce4-taskmanager and could be used<br>instead of a few unmaintained panel plugins.<br>

I find the xfce4-taskmanager to be a little underfeatured, so I often use htop instead. Obviously an ncurses app isn't for everybody, but I think including unnecessary Gnome apps by default would only bulk up Xubuntu more, IMHO.
