meh.  before reading this last paragraph, i went and typed exactly what 
you said, and then noticed that there.  agreed.  in addition, maybe 
rename xfce-utils to xfce4-desktop?  esp considering that it's kinda a 
"meta-package" with the GDM/xdm scripts in there.  i kinda don't like it 
being xfce- rather than xfce4-.

well, if we're going to include Terminal, we need to depend on d-bus.  
well, we don't strictly *have* to, since benny said he'll make d-bus 
optional, but i think the d-bus part is one of Terminal's distinguishing 
features - the ability to run only one instance.  benny's put a lot of 
time and thought into Terminal.  not to say that isn't the same for 
eduard and xfce4-terminal, but i think benny's had a bit more time to 
work on his, and it's a bit more mature.  it's of course up to eduard if 
he wants to keep working on xfce4-terminal.

yeah - they're outer-core desktop components, but are apps in their own 
right.

i dunno.  i think they're pretty ok as toplevel modules.  i don't really 
have a strong opinion.
