This is fine in theory, but it doesn't hold up terribly well in
practice. Just about every time we roll a TC/RC, I mail the lists for
each desktop - GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and Sugar - and ask for help in
filling out the validation matrix. We get help fairly often for GNOME
and KDE, and satellit_ usually covers Sugar, but we very rarely get
anything for Xfce or LXDE.
Oh I'm pretty sure our solution works as well on paper as it does on the
field.
What's happening in the XFCE/LXDE community's is that the head of those
SIG's aren't doing a great job of mobilizing their community to increase
activities and participation in them which means that we ( QA ) might
have to step up and be more visible in those community ( that is if they
cant increase more activities in them ).
