Nice pointer, thanks. I'm wondering why not put more effort in
supporting Xfce apps, like Mousepad or Parole, since they're basically
following the same philosophy... Among other things, they're
essentially desktop- and distro-agnostic and follow much of the
traditional Gnome (pre-3.0) layout. This way it feels like effort
duplication. For PDF there is ePDFView, but that one needs a lot of
love. For images, there is Mirage and Ristretto, etc.
