xfce4-settings 4.10 Roadmap
Make Settings Dialogs Netbook Friendly
A couple of dialogs are quite big, we should make sure they fit properly on netbook screens, so say a maximum size of 800×500 pixels. This will imply work on xfwm4's settings dialogs too.

"Solidify" the Keyboard Shortcuts
People have reported a lot of problems with the new keyboard shortcuts system. Apart from fixing these issues, I think we should also implement proper .Xmodmap support. Consider a port to libkeybinder if we require gtk >= 2.20.

Easy themes installation
Currently, users have to extract themes to ~/.icons/ or ~/.themes/ which is not exactly straightforward and not easy to discover. We should provide an easy way to install new themes. A good UI will have to be found: GNOME does this by allowing to drag&drop tarballs to their 'Appearance' window but this is also hard to discover.

Merge xfsettingsd and xfce4-settings-helper
Because xfsettingsd in the beginning was part of the xfconf package it moved directly to the xfce4-settings package. However this means on a normal Xfce desktop, always 2 daemons are running to handle the settings. To avoid this we're going to merge xfce4-settings-helper in xfsettingsd (because we like the name better).
