This is an intentional change.  The graphical plymouth is a bit laggy on
the XO and so we are forcing the text plugin.  This also makes the XO
match all other hardware with the live image since we don't yet load
modesetting stuff for the live images.

If you were using the F-10 branch of the spin-kickstarts tree, then you
should already be getting the migration heuristic set, which is what
this workaround was.  It may be that there's something else going on
with XFCE
