that seems like a very good idea
or simply allow feature requests in the bug tracker
with a flag to say which is which:
it might go along with 'severe/normal/minor' as '/request'.

as a user who likes the basic elegance which has always distinguished XFCE,
i'm opposed to desktop icons: we have panel launchers & an iconbox,
which are both neat & do real jobs efficiently,
& we have multiple desktops to allow intelligent sorting of tasks.
desktop icons are a M$ idea, because it doesn't have launchers or multidesks
& it encourages its slaves to put document icons on their one desktop,
which they can then click like a TV channel for M$ to open as it sees fit.

there is a distinct XFCE way of doing things & it's better (smile).
