Goals for next Xfce releases

Borderless windows. Like Openbox - right click and in the window menu
there is an entry - "borderless window".

Probably one of the most important parts... this should have been in 4.4,  
if Benny
had the time, IIRC.

Graphical "Lock panel" (kiosk mode) configuration. Like the Windows  
taskbar -
right click and "Lock taskbar".

Very, very interesting idea.... I like it :)

Tracker is nice, but it should be optional. A Thunar plugin could do it  
though :)
Another Thunar plugin for FUSE... grreat :)

And overall, small and nimble, at least when compared to Gnome and KDE.

Hope that 4.6 rocks even more than 4.4!
