ANNOUNCE: xfce4-power-manager 0.9.98 released

[Graeme Wolfendale]

Hi people,

this package sounds very interesting... would you recommend xfce as an
option for an arm based tablet pc ? currently i am looking at openbox
but am a happy xfce user on the desktop. is there any "bare bones"
version of xfce suitable for this ?

thanks,

graeme
