Only question is, does the spin need to be CD sized any more? have you
considered the things the desktop group considered?

does xfce use metacity as the wm? If not, you may be able to save space
by doing what kde did and running firstboot inside xfce's wm, thus
saving the space of metacity+deps.

I asked for live desktop images for rc2, btw - so an xfce beta rc2 image
should be available for testing soon.
