  but that doesn't address the original issue -- that both XFCE (and
Sugar for that matter) were choices in the preview and aren't in f10.
and i noticed some package shuffling and new packages listed i'm sure
weren't there before -- "mock", for instance.

  not a big deal, but i sort of thought that a "preview" was meant to
be as close to an immutable freeze as possible, and wouldn't allow
major changes like package selections to be modified.
