My suggested amendments to Benedikt's proposal. Note: I have not used 
XFCE beyond 4.2.3.2, so am not familiar with changes to the launcher 
layout, if any.

I'd vote for a separate launcher for the Terminal, as I use it more than 
any other app, though, I suppose, the average, non-techie wont.

2nd) WebBrowser
3rd) MailReader
These functions are used my almost everyone I'd imagine, so they should 
both be available with a single click.

      - Printer Management?
... unless printer management is now included (as it ought to be) within 
the Settings Manager?

Perhaps the Mixer should be next to the MediaPlayer instead?

Absolutely! ie. for HomeDir, WebBrowser, MailReader
