I am not sure if i understand it correct.
What i did never understand is why people try to avoid gnome-apps.

A must-have for me is bash completion installed and configured well
If going with the two panel setup then I would like to see them configured a bit differently. Maybe some larger launchers below...
You can save 5 to 10 megs of memory by not using the menu plugin but rather just create a shortcut that calls the xfce menu instead.

There's no way to set the time zone in the installer. I could add that, but I don't think that'll happen for this release. Should I add ntpdate and make a menu item that runs ntpdate-debian? Will that screw up someone's hardware clock if they've got it set to local time? (/etc/default/rcS has UTC=yes)
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome keyboard-configuration
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome tzdata
ntpdate-debian
