Oh, I wasn't aware of this... I thought the qt based 2d version will remain as
a fallback solution, but it seems to go the same way as the fallback mode in
gnome3. In unity-2d it was obviously possible to run the panel only, while
dropping the dash and probably some other stuff. The native 3d version doesn't
have this feature, so that is no real solution for Xfce users.

BTW, probably I will switch from Xfce to KDE within the next months. I have
never thought about this, but assuming KDE is at least as configurable as Xfce
(and shrinkable, if needed), I could imagine that step. So I remove the
"NotReady" tag now. If someone has time left for a review, please do it. The
dependency appmenu-qt is built for f18 and rawhide now and the latter should be
available soon for a Koji scratch build.
