I don't see a discussion thread anywhere so I thought I'd start one so we can all offer our opinions. As a daily Xubuntu user, I would be against putting XMir as the default on Xubuntu 13.10. In fact, I don't think that this should be done until at least 14.10. For one, there are still a lot of open issues surrounding XMir (multi monitor support being a big one) and it is much less mature. Setting that to the default probably will cause a lot more issues than we expect on the field. Stability is a very important issue for many users such as myself. Furthermore, we would be taking a big performance penalty if we included XMir as the default for 13.10 (probably will improve in the near future but there will still be another layer): <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQyOTY" target="_blank">http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQyOTY</a> I would be totally okay with putting this in a package somewhere (xubuntu-desktop-xmir?) so users can opt to install it themselves to test and so forth.
