Ok, so I think we're all pretty much agreed that we want to move to 
svn.  Now, let's actually do it.  Though it's probably best to wait 
until after FOSDEM.  I'm fine with using the trunk/branches/tags 
layout.  As for the overall repo layout, I think the consensus is to 
just do everything at the toplevel, except for the xfce core 
components.  So we have:

|-xfce4/
| +-xfwm4/
| +-xfce4-panel/
| `- ... (other core components) ...
+-xfmedia/
+-mousepad/
+-(other xfce-related apps)
+-xfce4-systemload-plugin/
+-xfce4-weather-plugin/
`-(other panel plugins)

Does that sound like what we want to do?  Do we want to create a 
subdirectory for the plugins as well as the core?
