* Midori is a web browser endorsed by upstream Xfce as the official browser of their Desktop Environment, we as the Xfce SIG would like to keep this browser showcased but we will continue to ship Mozilla Firefox as the default as there are still some concerns about functionality. Please use Midori to browse to popular sites and login to test in order to help the efforts to provide feedback upstream, suggestions: Fedora Community, Gmail, Google Docs, Facebook, MySpace, etc.

* remmina vnc client and panel plugin has been added, please test this functionality and report all issues.
* TigerVNC has been added, please test this functionality and report all issues.
* gnome-screensaver will be replaced by xscreensaver as gnome-screensaver will no longer detect idle without gnome-session running
* There are two new xfce4 panel plugins, the stopwatch and the xfswitch


Beyond this, please just install Xfce on Branched - <tt>yum install @XFCE</tt> - and check that everything within Xfce you expect to work, does work. In particular, check that all the configuration applets work correctly. As it's fairly obvious how to test these, we decided not to include specific test cases for each applet; just run each one, and check that changing the settings has the intended effect. If you find any problems, please say so in the IRC chat session.
