Err, yes, I remember doing those :)

I've been switching between Xfce and LXDE for a while, I'm now a LXDE user, but
I don't exclude going back to Xfce in future :)

Now, the package is DE-independent, but not (currently) being a Xfce user, it
would sound a bit weird to rejoin you guys :)

AFAICT upstream development stopped too:

I changed it to RFP just because I was leaving the team, IIRC -- and it didn't
seem honest to me to introduce a package I wasn't going to maintain.

Really, I can't remember ever using it :(... I'll give it a try though, and
tell you afterwards.

You're welcome!
