	No, I don't think that the setup dialog was a significant part of
running xfce3.  By that I mean that if something new was substituted for
it in xfce3 there would be no problems adjusting.

	Yes.  I really like the way you kept the "standard" look but added so
much more configurability.

	More features aren't the issue.  More is better.  But it should be able
to be configured to be as close to xfce3 as it can be.

	If I can install xfce4 and have it work like (i.e. do what I normally
do to get my work done, not necessarily look like or function like)
xfce3 then the transition will be considered smooth.
