I don't see GFC surviving on its own. One-man projects seldom do. But 
I'm dedicated in what I do and I want to continue. I have been thinking 
about making this proposal for some time because as you said GFC seems 
to fit well with the Xfce philosophy. My proposal is all or nothing. I 
would be very happy to see GFC integrated into Xfce, and to help 
maintain it. GFC would cease to exist as a separate project and  could 
be removed from SourceForge at some point. Once GFC was integrated into 
Xfce it could be developed in whatever direction was required. I 
wouldn't have a problem with that.
