I've been thinking about it for a while and realized that having
configuration profiles for all possible settings is not really what *I*
need (others may disagree).
The *only* actual problem I have with XFCE settings is that whenever I
want to rearrange my panels or plugins I *have to* break my current
setup. If only I was able to temporarily disable panels and/or plugins
(rather than delete them) that would make this whole issue go away
entirely, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Other potential targets for a "special treatment" are keyboard shortcuts
and session/autostart configuration. They also are rather laborious to
set up and some users may change them heavily or frequently.
