	I talked with Olivier about this just before or as xfce4 was starting. 
I think he'd be happy to see someone take up work on 3 but no one has
volunteered yet.  I would be, alas, I can't do C/GTK/X programming and
by the time I could get up to speed xfce6 would probably be out. 
Personally, I would be thrilled if there was some way to keep xfce3
alive.  Just wish I could actually do something to help it.
