Hi Jordi, This is great news that you and your wife would like to produce some t-shirts. One of the projects we're working on in the Marketing Team aims to address many of the questions you've raised: http://diy.devubuntu.com, https://launchpad.net/spreadubuntu
Trademark Policy and adherence to some basic branding guidelines are all that (should) really matter, although I'm personally only aware of how these apply to the "Ubuntu" brand. If you are concerned about having the blessing of the Xubuntu community, my recommendation would be for Emma to produce some roughs of her designs and then request feedback from the applicable Ubuntu sub-communities: Xubuntu-users, Xubuntu-dev Ubuntu-art, Ubuntu-marketing, etc. We look forward to the results!
