Therefore I'm suggesting XFCE to be included in the

The same way GNOME is there right now:

GNOME Application based on GNOME libraries GTK
XFCE Application based on XFCE libraries GTK

May I ask what's the use case? I know that we have GNOME and KDE there,
but I'm not even sure why we have them in the first place :-)

I've sent a patch years ago to the xscreensaver author (jwz) to add
X-XFCE; in the xscreensaver-properties.desktop. When XFCE; or
X-XFCE; is coupled with Settings; in Categories= the Xfce Settings
Manager can show a icon of it:

I chatted with Guido Berhoerster today. Apparently, what you describe
here (filtering apps that will appear in xfce4-settings-manager, while
still allowing those apps to appear in the applications menu in other
desktops) is the main use case for XFCE.

I think it's a valid use case (even though I'm not sure I like this
approach, but that doesn't matter).

So unless someone raises a valid objection within a week, I'll add the
XFCE category to the spec.

Cheers,

Vincent
