All true, I will definitely make some work out of it very soon, I am now 
guiding a few student projects around xfce on my university.

I wanted to talk about a lot of things on fosdem 2008 but finding the 
right people was a bit hard. I found everybody that I needed to speak to 
except the xfce you guys :-p.

On this moment I have to finish some documentation for emdebian first 
than I will start working on xfce again.

Kind regards,
