Thanks for your patience, Vincent, and the clarification.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

I have documented the packages that I add to Xubuntu, in the Ubuntu forums (and I have attached the code for a few settings hacks, also) ..<br>

Obviously, there is a lot of personal preference in the list, but some readers have found it useful, and have probably cherry-picked some of my choices.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

<tt>You might suggest some specifically at the xubuntu-devel mailinglist :)</tt><br>

I can send you off-line a short list of general, low-effort, high-win changes to the Xubuntu interface, if you like. I am reluctant to address the developers list directly, because I am not a developer, and have no credibility in their circle. I feel that this mailing list is the users' forum, and this is where suggestions on usability should be presented. If we can convince people like yourself and Cody to run with some of our ideas, then I think that things will happen! :)</div>
</blockquote><div><br>The purpose behind this list is user support, the purpose behind the -devel list is all things related to development. Everybody starts out with zero credibility, that shouldn't scare you off ;-)<br>
<br>Feel free to send it to the -devel list, but if you really don't want to you can mail me personally as well. That said, I'll have to say that it's unlikely that much will happen - some because there are reasons for Xubuntu not to include stuff (which I'll give to you, of course :), some because the devs are busy (especially with 8.10 being released tomorrow)... but you never know ;-)<br>

Please let me know if you would like me to send you some (simple) ideas, off-line.<br>

PS. Despite my whinging, I am a big fan of XFCE and Xubuntu. It is simple and fast, and we don't use anything but Xubuntu on our desktop computers and laptops at my house! :)<br>
