Bzzt!  I'm sorry, please try again ^_~.  See my other email.

I still think there are enough people (such as myself) who don't care
for desktop icons, so I think it'll still have some use yet.  (I know
I've said basically what you just said in the past, but I had a change
of heart several months ago.)  I'll continue to maintain and support it,
but I really don't see the use of adding too many more features.
xfdesktop should remain the "light" alternative.

Indeed.  I'm still waiting for those patches ^_~.
