What do we think could be improved in XFCE, both upstream and Fedora.

• Better thumbnailing (currently things don't have autogenerated thumbnails, sometimes these can be generated by external app, no thumbnails on desktop though)
  • There is tumbler did you check if it's running on your machine?
    • Thanks for the pointer. That fixes is for supported files (thunar-thumbnailer plugin would be nice to have for other files as well). Does not fix not having thumbnails on desktop. I haven't found it in xfce kickstart, is that even installed by default? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682433
• Implement Tabs/Panels in Thunar
  • Afaik it was a design decision not to implement tabs in thunar. Talked to jpohlmann about this quite a while ago
• Make default desktop prettier -- less spacing, no or almost no background in icon labels
• Keyring support in midori
• Time/Calendars applets are a mess -- need one that can do sensibly both.
  • Did you have a look at Orage?
    • I gave it a second look now. Looks pretty usable. But why is the calendar always in the middle of the screen?
• Easier dual head (currently only cloning is supported via gui config)
• Better pulseaudio support (even though the sound is generated through pulseaudio, we cannot easily access pa settings)
• Ability to turn tapping on touchpad on (setting it via gnome utils does not seem to make it work under xfce)
  • That could be done via synclient, e.g. from terminal.
    • I'm looking for gui way. We already have some basic mouse settings, why not add touchpad settings?
  • gpointing-device-settings
• Same widget theme for GTK+2 and GTK+3 (currently does not exist)
• Add your suggestion here...

TODO: better formulate the above points and fill out feature requests upstream or downstream (where appropriate).
