xfce version 3 vs. 4 : missing features?

[craig.betts at dfrc.nasa.gov]

Well personally I'd like to see the icon view for minimized windows come
back.  This request is made from several of my users.  I keep XFce3
around for this very reason.  Some users said they don't mind changing,
but would like to have the ability to change the icon display in the
taskbar to help identify the program running (I used this feature in
XFCE3, and miss it).  I am using XFce as a replacement for CDE on my
Solaris systems, and have even made it look almost exactly like CDE.  My
users just love this!

Other than that, the new design has been taken-in with open arms.  Its
fast, simple and standards based.
