Abstract: Abstract We focus on the Xfce desktop environment “Olivier Fourdan, Xfce—Desktop Environment” [1] which is one of the software system developed under open source project. The Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use. The data used in this chapter are collected in the bug tracking system on the website of Xfce which consists of 6 components (called general, other, xfce4, xfdesktop, xffm, and xfwm) in November 2004 “Olivier Fourdan, Xfce—Desktop Environment” [1]. Tables 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5 and 11.6 show actual data sets used in this section. “general” means the panel and utility, etc., “other” is the other components, “xfce4” is core components, “xfdesktop” is the background manager of desktop, “xffm” is the file manager, and “xfwm” is the window manager.
