We are not shipping claws-mail-plugins-fancy in the Xfce spin.

I do. As soon as you have a lot of tabs oben, Chronium uses way more
resources because it spawns a new instance of the browser for every tab.

Chronium will never get into Fedora unless Google stops forking all
random libraries. See http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html

It still does not handle certificate based authentication, which IHMO is
a bigger problem than any random website looking ugly.

But I really think we should remove one browser. I don't really care
which one, let the majority decide.

And we could remove some themes. Currently we are shipping 4 complete
themes: adwaita, albatross, bluebird and greybird. IHMO this is too
much.

Kind regards,
