XFce's way

[Jasper Huijsmans]

Hey Moritz,

Please note that none of these requests have actually been granted ;-)

I said some time ago that I do think that may be our greatest challenge.
To be "fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing" as
has been prominently displayed on our website.

We haven't done so badly in that area I believe. At least I do try to
think about it while I'm coding or reviewing other people's code.

I don't think you need to worry ... yet ;-) Just tell us when you feel
we go to far. 

	Jasper

PS 
I'm still waiting for the first feature removal request ;-)
