*takes deep breath*  Ok, I'll do it, tentatively.  I don't want to
jump into this until we really know what's going on.  If Benny's
"limitations" can still allow Thunar to be integrated into Xfce and
keep with what the rest of us want to see in a file manager, there's
little point to forking.  To that end...

Benedikt: Ok, it's time.  We've been very patient.  You disappeared
for two months, without any information as to your position or your
intentions.  I understand that sometimes we get burned out on things
(in fact, I'm an expert at getting burned out on things), but, to be
blunt, you've been very rude in not letting us know your plans.  As
Auke so simply put it: "please explain now."

Yep, agreed.  I can take care of the nomad website as well.  My need
to be a selective control freak requires this, actually.  If we go
ahead with this, I want to use Francois' layout for xfce.org to make
it blatantly obvious that this is indeed an Xfce project, since we're
rather new to the idea of not starting our projects with xf- or xfce(4)-.

As chairman, do I get preferred stock? ^_~
