The main missing bit is a way to get from an application's launcher to 
the versions dialog (e.g. if you want to check for updates manually, or 
roll-back to a previous version). In ROX, you can right-click on a 
launcher and choose 'Versions...' from the menu. It would be nice to have 
something similar in Xfce.
