Hmm, given the fact that probably xfwm4 and Xfce together is the most
used combination, maybe the presentation could be slightly better
integrated? Given that the config dialogs are already getting
'gplugged', maybe there could be a "keyboard shortcut configuration"
if both Xfce and xfwm4 are detected which simply plugs the two dialogs
right next to each other?

Just an idea though...
