c'mon - we're asking for simple ideas and you come up with the most bloated 
ideas possible!

Xfce needs a 'simple' login manager that is safe. It would be nice if it can 
also start sessions of other desktops, but there it ends.

supporting desktop screenshots requires the WM to save one on logout, 
needlessly slowing things down. And when did are you supposed to see the 
screenshots? before you enter your password? that would be a privacy 
information leak - and after you enter your password is silly - you don't want 
more choices.

Doing stuff with evince would be nice, but you don't want to make it an Xfce 
app, as a DE has no place for such high-end applications.
