I personally was planning on releasing a working version of
gnome-printinfo[1], the CUPS admin tools, and the GTK+ theme.
Note that the majority of changes are patches and not new programs, so
these will be absorbed into the official GNOME releases fairly quickly.
I hope the OpenOffice.org changes are the first to go in personally.
Regarding the platforms XD2 targets -- remember that XD2 is an
enterprise desktop aimed at corporations/university/government, and runs
of the platforms most often asked for by the corporations. Amusingly one
corporation apparently wanted XD2 on Gentoo, but Ximian refused to
support it... :)
