+      <p><tt>Xfce</tt> is a free software desktop environment for Unix
+	and Unix-like platforms, such as &os;.  It aims to be fast and
+	lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to
+	use.</p>
+
+      <p>During this quarter, the team has kept these applications
+	up-to-date:</p>

+
+	<p>Some hidden features were introduced in the 1.5.1 release,
+	  and as we also support ConsoleKit2 (fork of
+	  <tt>sysutils/consolekit</tt>), help for users is
+	  required.</p>
