Sorry, I meant the Xfce dev list there.

My thoughts (as I said on IRC):
- We should talk with upstream. If you have a great idea for a layout
that works better as a default, why not get it in for all Xfce users?
- Such default layouts are very much a matter of taste. I am not a
Human Interface Design person or a Usability tester. You might have
more luck finding such a person upstream. Ie, its very hard to quantify
what is "better" about your suggested default.
Thanks for providing the input!
