| - take off the XFT knob
| - make gnomevfs enabled in the default firefox/thunderbird build.
|

I'm not so sure non-GNOME users will agree with you here. I support
your first two ideas, but I think making gnomevfs2 a mandatory
dependency will piss off a lot of people. Especially since you have
things like:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "firefox");
