No. I mean, yes, ghal will go into /libs. But /libs is also for other
libraries that we don't consider part of the core. And I would like
to see tumbler and garcon as independent of the rest of Xfce. /xfce is
for the core components, which may or may not depend on other libraries
(from outside (like GTK+) or from /libs). That's how I imagined it.

(Using the terminology of the release model document, garcon and
tumbler would be 'essential dependencies', not 'core components' and
thus, can live in /libs just fine.)
