Unfortunately, I don't know alot about the xfce developement process, how
to correctly submit a bug report, what format this report should have,
etc. If patches are expected to come with the report, I would have even a
greater problem filing such a report.

I also have little time to spend in actually providing any code. I am
sorry to take this stand, as I know xfce is all about the voluntary work
of others, and I'd hate to come along demaning features, and not having
the opportunity to actually contribute myself.

As we'd like to have our new desktop environment set up for the next
semester starting in august, I think we will just do the skel-thing,
copying in a default setup for new users. Especially since we'd like to
alter the default focus behaviour as well.


However, I'd really like to see a system similar to what Jasper suggests.
I as a sysadmin could just setup my own config, and then just copy my user
config to the system config dir, and everything would work out nice.



Best regards,
Svein Halvor

Patches are great. Patches are not required.

bugs.xfce.org has the Xfce bugzilla. Pretty straightforward.
