Yep, true. It should be more a list. The about page should be a short
intro to xfce, the features page (duno if the name is ok) will extend
this information.

The project pages will contain screenshots, developer info, hidden
stuff, ..., and project specific information for each project.

Could be, but for now it's good enough.

Maybe they aren't that important, but it's good to know that each lib
does and the project page is IMHO a good place to drop this
information.

I did that everywhere, as far as i know...
