I'd say Xarchiver would benefit from better integration into the desktop
(not only Xfce, since i.e. the shared mime database is used by other
desktops as well). Dunno how important it is to offer a Gtk+2-only
archive manager. I'd guess most people using Xarchiver have Xfce or
GNOME installed... but that's just a guess.

Personally, I'd like to see the efforts merged into one project, which
provides a lightweight, but still well-integrated archive manager (maybe
optionally without the integration to reduce dependencies). But that's
of course up to you guys. ;-)
