my modified xfce goodies list


I'm installing Debian Squeeze net install to a thinkpad X40. I didn't want the whole xfce-goodies package so I started my own list which has grown and now I wondering if I should just install the whole xfce-goodies package. What I really need is someone to either say "looks fine run with it" or "dude, you might as well install the whole goodies package at this point!"

Code:
sudo apt-get install xfce4-verve-plugin libtagc0 libxmlrpc-c3 xfce4-taskmanager xfce4-mailwatch-plugin xfce4-notes-plugin xfce4-battery-plugin xfce4-netload-plugin thunar-archive-plugin thunar-media-tags-plugin thunar-thumbnailers thunar-volman xfce4-datetime-plugin xfce4-artwork xfce4-smartbookmark-plugin xfce4-power-manager xfce4-power-manager-data xfce4-power-manager-plugins xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin libisofs6 xfce4-mount-plugin xfce4-sensors-plugin xfce4-screenshooter xfce4-clipman xfce4-places-plugin xfce4-clipman-plugin xfce4-dict xfce4-notifyd xfcalendar xfce4-iconbox xfce4-mixer xfce4-mixer-alsa xfce4-systray xfprint4 xfce4-datetime-plugin xfce4-mcs-manager xfce4-mcs-plugins xfce4-notes-plugin xfce4-panel xfce4-session xfce4-settings xfce4-utils xfce4-hdaps xchat-systray xfdesktop

Why? Disk space is cheap.

Good point but the availability of HDDs bigger than the 20GB fitting this notebook isn't good and I'm trying to stay light on the system. Ofcourse the difference between my list and the full package may be trivial. Perhaps someone might suggest cutting some of these out of the list.

Do a dry run and observe the space difference ("After unpacking, XX MB will be used") between all of them and just your list, and see if it's significant.
