Is it the holiday season or what? Two responses in to days to a request for
release is not a sign of vitality for a project.

I guess lack of time is a valid reason for not doing a release. I certainly
can't blame anyone, since I have no time at all and haven't done anything on
xfce-stable in months.

Still I think it would be a good idea to get the taskbar-enabled xfce
released. Maybe we just need more developers? There don't seem to be any
show-stopping bugs. Joe's problem with the gtkrc file looks like an easy fix
(but somebody will have to fix it of course).

Alternatively somebody could port the taskbar to xfce4, turn my xfce4 code
into something releasable and we do an "XFce Desktop Environment XP Beta 1"
release soon. But I guess that is wishfull thinking.
