Create Netbook edition of Xubuntu with XFCE customized to save space on screen (for example as it is done in Ubuntu Netbook Edition)

I loathe "netbook" interfaces that treat the user as if he owns a device with just 8 "duplo" sized buttons. I use Xubuntu on my Acer Aspire One with great pleasure, for a few years already. A netbook is just a laptop that does fit in a bag, and should not be treated as a child's toy. The only drawback is that some programs expect a larger screen and therefore draw some buttons off-screen. Those applications should be fixed, but the general look & feel of XFCE should not be changed for a netbook.

Let the old tablets with the small screens have the "At Ease"/Netbook looking interface with the Large buttons.

But Also:

Allow the XFCE standard netbook users to have applications that fit to screen
