notes:
'review misc. xfce packages' means to review the XFCE applications chosen to replace the GNOME applications are consistent with previous user experiences. For example, should Gedit continue to be replaced by mousepad or would leaf pad provide the best satisfy user expectations.
this is the current functions and choices:
* text edit - gedit
* image viewer - ristretto
* pdf viewer - evince
* music player - audacious
* video player - totem
* disc burner - brasero
* file manager - nautilus
any change to nautilus will need to be made carefully as thunar is invasively threaded into the seeds and -default-settings package.
