XPde 0.3.5 has been released, which according to the site is a major upgrade to the XPde desktop environment and window manager. We reported on the (Pascal-written) XPde before (shots). On other X11 news, InterfaceWM 0.2.4 was recently released, XFCE 4 is getting closer to release (screenshots and one more), while the XWin.org team had another conference call last week.

Just a quick gripe, and maybe off-topic because I don't plan to participate in the X11 discussions, but why are people doing conference calls?
A few working groups I am involved in still use this archaic method of communication. Ever since I was a kid, I have been communicating via BBS chats, IRC, instant messaging, something where I can see multiple discussion threads in real time with logging capability.
On the phone, I don't know who is doing the talking, I can't follow the discussion, and I can't scroll back to see what I missed or to reread what might be important.
Conference calls are primitive. Telephones have a user interface that makes ed(1) look easy.
