The patches are now upstream, so they're no extra patching work... And as long as Gauvain can merge them, I don't understand why we should drop them (and if he doesn't have the time, I'll merge them).

Xubuntu ships Xfce, not Ubuntu+two or three changed packages... and no, the "Xfce argument" isn't irrelevant, please re-read Jérôme mails... If squeeze isn't stable (it crashes actually), we'll drop it of course. > - * (xfce4-taskmanager) > + * (gnome-system-monitor) xfce4-taskmanager works fine (the hardy upload, not the rc-which-doesn't-exist-upstream you did upload in the previous release), so there's no need to use g-s-m. > - * xfce4-places-plugin > + * (xfce4-places-plugin) That's enabled in the default panel, so recommending it only is rather illogical... > + * gnome-mount It creates several issues with thunar, especially two dialogs showing up when it fails, and errors messages not correctly forwarded with gnome-mount. > - * xscreensaver > - * screensaver-default-images > - * xscreensaver-gl # MRS, we will only ship a subset of the > screensavers from rss-glx and xscreensaver > - * xscreensaver-data # subset package for the non-gl screensavers we ship > + * (gnome-screensaver) > + * (screensaver-default-images) > + * (xscreensaver-gl) # MRS, we will only ship a subset of the > screensavers from rss-glx and xscreensaver > + * (xscreensaver-data) # subset package for the non-gl screensavers we ship Do you read bug reports? gnome-screensaver has a big security issue with xfwm4 when compositing is enabled... it is transparent as well, so you can see the desktop through the screensaver, even if it's locked. > + * (gnome-games) Nothing to say here, that's ok for this one. And btw, a big thanks for messing with the seeds when there are issues building our isos and releasing an alpha 4, really...
