Xffm issues

[Olivier Fourdan]

Moe,

IMHO the real point for now is to fix the pending issues (like bugs and
memory leaks, really, we need to get those memory leaks fixed...)

Definitely not a priority.

Idem.

Humm, I think the icons are just fine. Most are stock icons, so feel
free to customize them using gtkrc.

Hey, that scrolling is cool :)

Yeah, I like the arrows :)

Agree, although I think it uses mcs

Well, except for the memory leaks and pending bugs, everything else is
my own perception :) The fact is that I really want to make a release
soon, xfce4 has stayed too long in CVS... So it's really no time for
improvements now. Let's keep that for Xfce 4.2

Cheers,
