So what?  I'm not saying I'd like to specifically make Xfce hard for
people to use and configure (or that we shouldn't be thinking about
ease-of-use when designing new parts of it), but if a new user isn't
willing to take < 10 minutes to peruse the available settings panels, I
honestly don't care so much if they decide to go back to KDE or whatever.

Considering the limited amount of development/support time that we have,
I'd prefer to have quality users who don't need to be coddled.
