Well, that and deciding on a communication protocol / API for interaction 
with xfwm.

I think it is important to have good configuration tools. For that we need 
2 things:
1) settings are stored in one place only (not for xfwm and xfce separately)
2) a method of notification that something changed, probably through xfwm. 
We could use a xprop mechanism sending an XFWM_CONFIG_CHANGED message to 
the root window or something. Maybe we could have a small wrapper library 
that modules could use, which implements reading and writing configuration 
files.

Ideally all configuration should be done graphically (or be possible to do 
graphically).
I don't know how difficult it would be to translate current config file 
format to xml and whether we want to keep the current pipe communication 
between xfwm and modules.

Just some loose thoughts on the subject,
