Olivier and group,
Supporting Xfce is an obligation that we all share.  Some of us are not
skilled in coding (like me) so we have, IMHO, an even greater obligation
than those who write and debug the code.

We can nominate/vote on regional collection agents until/if an online
payment means is developed.  My personal preference would be to send
cash to a person in the US who would add it to the other donations he
had received.  That would result in one bank transaction instead of
many.
