Hi,

Here's a few suggestions that sprung up from Jannis' ideas. They don't
adhere to the rule "They all have to with the origin of hurricanes",
but I find them nice names and perhaps suitable for the mix. Weren't
we supposed to be brainstorming here anyway? ;)

Here we go:
 - Aurora
 - Corona

Aurora is my definite favourite. The astronomic term for northern
lights. Means 'the dawn' in French (and Latin I think) as well.

A Corona is the "halo" that surrounds a star. It could be seen as
something that surrounds Xfce and extends and spreads it (at least if
tried really hard;). Unfortunately it's also a beer label, which
makes this one a bit less appealing (good beer though).

A quick (stress on the word quick) search on Google came with no results
that'd conflict with use of any of these names names in the proposed
project.

Yeah, I need better things to do. ;)
